Well, Borland is a much nicer working environment, but MSVC is pretty much a standard. Also, if you buy NewEra, *it* requires MSVC. > Since we have users of both window3.1 and win95, could you give me some > advice on choosing C-compiler that fit both ESQL/C 5.01 and 7.20?

I'm sure Borland have an equivalent deal, but if you buy MSVC4.0, it includes a 16-bit version (1.5.2) and a 32-bit version (4.0). In summary, Borland is nicer, MS is (?) safer...
