NEWBIE: difference between Desktop and Develop

I always programmed in VB3, but I would like to switch over to
Delphi. Precisely what are the differences between the desktop and
developers editions?

Thanks
Johan

From the Delphi 2 factsheet:

Developer is the complete Desktop plus:

- VCL Source Code and Manual
- Scalable Data Dictionary
- Complete ODBC Connectivity
- Additional Components like Multi-Object Grid
- 32 bit Local Interbase Server
- 32 bit ReportSmith
- Installshield Express installation program
- WinSight 32 for monitoring Windows messaging
- BDE Low-level API Support and Helpfiles
- Expanded Open Tools API
- Team Development Interface
- Versatile sample OCXs

Regards,
Arjan

Can Delphi Desktop use ODBC data sources at all? If not, can you "upgrade"
to Developer or C/S without buy the entire package?

I saw someone already listed the differences... When you are a
professinal developer you simply need Delphi Dev. edition
Especially the setup program IS Express is very handy for deploying
your applications.
