Technical Details for Borland C++

Borland C++ ... development. While you can use it to develop Java applets, it's not as convenient or satisfying as developing Java from a specialized Java development environment such as Symantec's Cafe. Borland updated its venerable ObjectWindows Library (OWL), so it now supports the new Windows 95 common controls, and the revised compiler has been extended to also compile Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) code. Unfortunately, although it supports MFC, Borland didn't include the MFC sources, so you'll be applying some source code patches whenever you want to compile MFC with BC++, a tedious extra step that shouldn't have been necessary.
