What is OWL? a thick Windows binding?  Where is a description in
more detail than an ad but cheaper than buying it. ;)

If you want the level one description, you  have just given it. It is 
an abstraction layer that  is much higher than the Microsoft
Foundation Classes (themselves a little higher than the Windows 
API).

For the level  2 description, you will need to invest a few hours
so you  may as well get a book on the subject or the Borland
Pascal compiler.

It sounds like the two best Windows development environments are
Visual C++ and Delphi.  Two questions:

- is there a good place to read an in-depth comparison between the
  two, without going out and buying both?

- does anybody have an idea about the relative number of developers
  using these two environments?
