Hello

I'm back again with a little more understanding than when I first started here. I have been able to work through most of the tutorials and wanted to have a 'feel' of the bazaar apps. I tried some apps and except the GUI MT variety, the normal GUI variety works. For example, the Controls-4Udemo gives me this

----- CtrlLib ( GUI MT GCC BLITZ WIN32 ) (1 / 17)
----- Controls4U ( GUI MT GCC BLITZ WIN32 ) (2 / 17)
Controls4U.cpp

Is this because I use the mingw compiler? Is there a particular reason you recommend the VC++ express compiler over the mingw? I resisted the download of the MSVC++ compiler because it demands the .NET framework to be downloaded too. I already have .NET2.0, .NET3.0 and .NET3.5 fws on my machine. A little detail will help clear this for me since these are tools I've never used before. Are there some precompiled binaries for the bazaar apps for win32 that I can try out?

On another note, is there some kind of comparison of a real world product that uses UPP vs traditional IDEs like VB or VC? I have almost made up my mind to do the crossover and a little nudge will help make that decision for me.

Please excuse the newbiesque questions. I really am a UPP newbie Wink

and am grateful for the assistance you offer.

Thanks
