understood that some Argentinian friend (former Datatrieve user) was a
visionary when he posted in y2000 in the NGs that Borland was planning to
kill BCB given some trends he observed and we took a lot of flack from John
Kaster for that.
So, it looks like D6 is the recommended version for Win32 development.
