As a customer I would agree with you, we have needed some focus and

Personally I'll be selfish and say I'm glad it took this long, as it
means I was available for the job!

let me know. Top of my list initially for C++ are Boost and ACE/TAO.
Another area where 'field reports' help is knowing where there are 3rd
party Delphi components that aren't compatible with C++Builder.
Thanks again

libraries. I'm not sure it is practical when our ABI is also
constrained by Delphi/VCL compatibility, which is not something
Microsoft need to consider. Once you throw in different exception
handling strategies, calling conventions, language extensions (and new
features as 0x is implemented) etc. the task becomes quite significant
- and that is assuming Microsoft even license or document their ABI.
I won't say we'll never do something along these lines (never say
never!) but it is not high on my prioirity list for the next 12 months.

Congratulations, Alisdair. You've certainly come a long way since we
first met on these newsgroups.

meaning to suggest this for a couple of years, but until now I didn't
know who to address. I don't think there currently is a better focused
event for C++ and CodeGear should seriously consider sending not only
their brand new product manager but also someone from the development
team. And not just to preside the annual BCB dinner!
Cheers,

files. I've been wanting to add automatic decoding/combining of PAR files to
my newsreader, but I'd have to put it in a DLL because it only compiles in
VC++, not C++ Builder. Ideally, I would be able to compile libpar to an OBJ
file that Delphi could link directly with. Make that a possibility and I
would be a very happy camper.
 

A little late to the party here, but I'm also thrilled to see such a
positive development for the C++ community.
Congratulations to Alisdair, and may we all learn to spell your name
correctly.

Why?
His parents couldn't, as he has often told us.
There are 2 ways to spell his name - and his is neither!
Alistair or Alasdair - his parents apparently mixed them up
and made a third!

Today I bit the bullet and purchased CB 2007 (even though none of my apps
can be built with it yet, I feel confident that one day they will!).
Then I discovered Alisdair had become C++ Project Manager.
Wow! I am now highly confident that I have made the right decision to
continue with C++Builder...
Congrats, Alisdair... I'm particularly looking forward to better Boost
support.
