Hello,
I'm looking for Builder Personal to download but it's not on the
Download site.
Any Help
Thanks

Hi All, I tried installing the above to see if it could help speed up the compilation of a very large C++ DLL. The immediate effect of this that my IDE hung each time I tried to compile a project. At first, I thought this might be happening because I hadn't registered the product so I did. I received an email to the effect that the version distributed by Borland had serious stability issues and that Borland had been informed and were working on this. The email also contained a link where I could download an update. I downloaded this, applied it and got the same result. I have now gone back to my "slow" builds that do not cause me to have to shut down BDS2006 using the Task Manager. The point of this posting is to alert others to this counter-productive free tool but to also question what kind of quality control is being done on this stuff? I think BDS2006 has done a lot to restore the confidence of long-time users regarding the quality of the IDE, the Turbo products are doing a good job of attracting new users, so why take the risk of undoing all that hard work by offering a bunch of "dodgy" free tools.

Hiya New to this newsgroup, but not to newsgroups themselves, as I like to help out in Microsoft one's :o) Anyway, I have bought C++ 6 personal from amazon, and inside there was a little book. I did the first tutorial, and that was it. I used to have version 3 that I bought direct from Borland, and that came with a massive book to help users. By the way, I'm a bit new to programming, and also the Personal version is cheaper to start learning on. So, I need to buy some books to understand what the compiler does fully. As there are many on the market, I don't want to spend loads of money, to be a complete waste of time. These are the ones I saw in Amazon, and was curious if they're any good, or if there was a better one: C++ Builder 6: Developer's Guide (Wordware Delphi Developer's Library) Jarrod Hollingworth, Satya Sai Kolachina (Editor) 3.50 This comprehensive guide provides in-depth discussion on topics such as Windows development, database development, Internet development including web services, VCL/CLX component development, and more. Every chapter includes extensive sample programs tested on C++ Builder 6. The enterprise edition of C++ Builder 6 is also included on the CD. Includes CD C++ with Borland C++Builder: An Introduction to the ANSI/ISO Standard and Object Oriented Windows Programming Richard Kaiser 9.40 C++ with the Borland C++Builder presents comprehensively and systematically all language elements of the ANSI/ISO standard of C++. Contexts and language concepts are in the foreground. The author uses the version 6 of the Borland C++Builder as development system. This visual system is the C++ variant of the Pascal development system Delphi and makes a simple development of programs for Windows possible. Almost all examples and exercises are Windows programs. However, since the ANSI/ISO standard of C++ is in the foreground, this book is also suitable for readers who work with other compilers. The class library of the C++Builder (VCL) is used as an example of a class hierarchy. The CD-ROM contains many examples and exercises with solutions. ++ Primer Plus Stephen Prata 5.55 Update to a computer industry classic; over 100,000 copies sold in previous editions. Contains over 20 new programming exercises and newly improved examples. Suitable as a tutorial or as the core text for C++ programming courses. Teaches fundamentals of programming including principles of structured code and top-down design. Includes a handy tear-out "Quick Reference Card". The above one was one that took my fancy, but just need some advice. Many thanks for any replies Regards eddie
