The problem isn't the world-class language tool design, it's the white-trash implementation that has customers alpha-testing their products. It's the rank amateur support infrastructure (IMO) and poor collateral material. Rod, as a long-time user of these products, I just don't find the above to be accurate. In general, these products are released relatively bug free, certainly when compared with what other companies are turning out. I've not seen anything that I would consider "Customer-Alpha-Tested". While BCB1 was a little more buggy than one might expect, it was version 1 and there were no show stoppers. It was followed quickly with a patch that handled most problems. As to docs, they're adequate if you know what you're doing. If you don't, then there exist an adequate number of third-party products. I can't say much about the "support infrastructure", since other than an occasional newgroup posting I just haven't needed it. I think your complaints here are that we don't see the voluminous material that accompanies typical WinAPI tools. Well, you simply don't need it, or anything like it. I do agree with you in all respects about the Corel deal though.
