Interesting.  I tried the demo version of CW for Win32 last September
and was surprised by the problems I encountered.  In porting one quite
small program I found several bugs.  I didn't even find any way to
report them (since I wasn't a paying customer).

I was porting from UNIX and had done some preliminary work with Visual
C.  Perhaps when porting from the MacOS world, CW behaves better.
Perhaps I had bad luck.

The resulting program was significantly faster when compiled with
Visual C or GCC than when compiled with CW.
