Who does any meaningful work in the few seconds a compile and link takes? David, the fact that so much software has been designed using patterns found in DOS and only DOS cannot be used to explain away the lack of threads in C++Builder's design. Again, this is elementary, not some advanced feature. Moreover, I don't call 10 or 15 minutes to completely build a modest application from scratch on a 266 Pentium II with 128 Megs of memory to be inconsequential. Why are they designing for DOS? This is mind-boggling, hardly the VERY minor glitch you seem to think it is. Read PC Week review, David, and write them and tell them that it only takes a few seconds to compile and link and indicate that their highlighting the lack of a threaded design as a VERY minor glitch. At least the folks at PC Week will have something to entertain themselves with as they ponder how a person could take a fundamental design flaw and write it off as a glitch.
