Unless it's installation program is more than 15MB (and that's fully
compressed). Then it's a good bet the product was written in VB. :-)

Actually it's a hybrid. I use MSVC for AB itself. I use C++Builder for
ABCreator. I prefer VC's debugger (I *HATE* everything else about VC), so I
use VC for the full product. However, C++Builder has an excellent framework
for quickly doing stock UI coding, so it's the tool of choice for projects
like ABCreator.

Use the best tool for each job is my motto....

There is a common misperception that Lone Wolf Development is a major
corporation with a huge staff that can tackle all sorts of projects
concurrently. While this is a good thing in many ways, it also has its
drawbacks. Examples include the myriad expectations that adding feature X
or supporting platform Y should be automatically done.

Thanks for reminding everyone about my mere mortal status. Not to mention
that I'm the only one doing EVERYTHING for this product at the present time
(sales, marketing, artwork, support, accounting, admin, oh and
development). Reality checks like this are important from time to time. :->

I'm pedaling as fast as I can!!! :->

Thanks, Rob
