Good. I don't think it is really much more than I implied, but it is good to
see that Borland is committed to C++ for more years. Now they need to
deliver and produce an Ansi C++ compatible compiler. This will also mean
many less headaches for Boost developers and Boost users who use C++
Builder. I hope I can afford this wondrous new compiler when it comes out,
that's all <g>.
