Hi Daniel, Please don't apologize, especially since you are a fellow BCB user :-). I do most of my work in BCB5 these days, and I try to stay away from VC as far as I can, but I have to use VC for some C++ classes that I teach, and my students and I suffer terribly during the lab exercises. As for Champ, a very significant share of my users use it to teach introductory programming classes at High School and College levels, where the emphasis is on algorithmic thinking and putting it down into (C++) code. For this group, a plain compiler like BC45 or BC5 is actually better than a visual programming environment like BCB or VB, where you do most of the work by clicking, dragging, and setting a few properties. >> Would you mind if we would stay in contact over e-mail? Feel free to write, I'll try to respond as time permits. Hans
