[NTLUG:Discuss] Portability solution

[Tom Adelstein]

Harshal,

I understand your frustrations with your client. I popped off and have 
some personal history on the subject. This isn't the forum for this.

BYW, Troll Tech provides a very clean solution. I haven't found it to 
have lots of bloat at least in comparison to other C++ environments.

Troll Tech will provide you with support. The non-commercial C++ 
products might make a business client nervous. They might ask: who 
supports this? What will we do if something goes wrong? etc.

The development projects that I see today use Java. That doesn't mean 
people stopped using C++.

That's it.

B-wishes
