Neat!  I may look into that someday if I ever have a real
need.  Thanks.

I don't like anything else about Windoze, but I do like VC++.
That's your competition.  If you can't beat it then moving
Windoze programmers to Linux will continue to be pulling

five years.  There are limits to management's (and even the
customers') control over the matter.
