No net surfing for all the bits and pieces... Excuse me... but I installed MSVC++ 6.0 and decided to give it a try. I diligently typed in the code for the sample "scribble" application. Guess what. It didn't run. I had to download a service pack off the net to get it to work. I think they're up to SP4 now in MSVC++ 6.0. I didn't find MSVC++ easy to understand, nor did I find building applications using the Wizards to be intuitive or easy. Now if you want ot make a case for VB or Delphi, I'll go along with that.
