RE: [Dev-C++] RE: Kylix 3

Hi all,
  Personally, I think the idea of re-writing Dev-C++ in C++ is pretty
counter productive, but for those who want to - its your time and your
effort. I'm not going to spend time trying to persuade you to do it or not.
If you want to, then do it. If not, then don't. End of story.

  I don't think the idea was to use Borland C++ Builder (if you had that,
you would already have a pretty darn good IDE - probably a lot better than
Dev-C++ as it commercial software). I think the idea was to make Dev-C++
interfaceable (is that a word?) to other compilers. Borland C++ Compiler is
just the command line C++ compiler like MinGW and it is pretty good. Borland
offers this package as a free download (you only have to register and take a
survey) at http://www.borland.com/products/downloads/download_cbuilder.html
. Just download the second link (named Compiler).
  Personally, it doesn't matter too much to me what compiler Dev-C++ uses -
MinGW, Cygwin, or Borland. I just wanted to correct the records here. MinGW
seems to fit better with Dev-C++'s open-source theme, however.

  Also, I want to say that I really enjoy using Dev-C++ - it is great
software and I am looking forward to its future. Many thanks to the
developers.

Sincerely,
Brian Becker
