Son needed for class
So I bought this item. At first he had some difficulty with converting the files he already had, but after talking with the teacher and other students, he now has it up and running. He likes the program, but as he is only using it for his own enjoyment, we did not need to worry about copyrite issues. For what we needed it for, it works great.

Borland's OK
Its good to have and nice to use, but it is a little confusing unless you read the entire manual. I can't really complain.

Piece of $h|t is what this is!!
Man if you are thinking of buying this well don't especially if you are a beginner or barely going to get your first compiler and if you aren't new to C++ then just stay with that same compiler you own or get another one. This was my first compiler and I bought this for somewhere in the 70bucks and I must say I was glad cause this is what I want to do which is code but man this is trash!!! It can't make an .exe like other compiler. Example: Dev-C++ when you compile something and everything goes right and you made no error a exe then comes but NO that is not the way Borland makes it instead they give you some other things which is just trash Asking for more code. Example: I made an easy code and it had problems and didn't want to make it but with the same code I compiled it in Dev-C++ and it compile and worked perfectly. But then later I fixed to work for Borland Builder but I needed to add a lot of code just for same results. Oh let me mention Dev-C++ is FREE and Borland cost me 70$ Pros: Nice Presentation(if you get a screenshot from Borland and Dev you will notice that Borland look more better) Wow a box and a book(yup thats pretty much it) Verdict: -10.0 out of 5.0 yes this sucks!!!!!!! It may look nice but come on people there are better compilers you can get

Borland is now dead
I've been a Borland C/C++ programmer since Turbo C 2.0 and for years it's been the best compiler. Not now. I purchased both Borland C++ Builder 6 and Microsoft Visual C++.NET - the Visual C++ box weighed approx 6 times that of Borland's box (and although weight don't make a compiler, it's an indicator of the vendor's features and support). Visual C++ gives you more bang for the buck but I don't like Microsoft's managed .NET direction. Looks like it's time to seek a Linux solution!

Sad just plain sad
I was excited to come back to Borland. I remember that day's under Turbo C++. They truly had a superior product then first of it was fast. If you had to debug with in the class libraries you could step into them and find out where the problem was. What I have found with Borland today that scares me is it's based around Pascal. That is just not smart! It adds additional complexity to debugging. Try to step into it. I also could not understand why CBuilder violates some OOP OOD concepts through public member variables except when absolutely nessecary. I understand why now. This is a dangerous path...take it at your own risk. Pray that you never have to resolve a serious low level soft ware problem with this. It looks like it will have some serious teeth to bite with. I would have give this zero but the option wasn't available. Microsoft truly has a better product than this. And I was truly excited to see what new ideas Borland had come up with when I came back to this tool set. Now I'm doing everything in my power to get this out of here.

Half Useful
This was my first C++ compiler. It was good to learn on, however once you get into advanced features this compiler is not worth the money. Supposedly this version supports partial specialization, however it doesn't work at all (Or maybe just mine doesn't. HUGE problem, for me anyway. It somehow handles std::iterator_traits however. Odd.) There is an option to use ANSI rules for compilation, however none of the provided standard headers will compile in this mode (or any mode other than 'Borland'), therefore its only use is to check small snippets. By default, your exe will depend on several dlls (even console apps), and it is ambiguous as to where you can disable this dependency. You cannot create DOS applications; all console apps are 32 bit and dependent on Windows. The VCL (used to make GUIs) is very simple to use, however the public interfaces are somewhat ugly in a lot of classes (for example, a particular list class has an 'operator []' which is the only way to access a member, but you can only access VCL components thru a pointer, therefore you need '(*list)[]' to access a member.) The VCL is proprietary and is not standard-compliant. Sometimes with complex recursive functions the compiler will fail with recursion errors, but then recompiling will generate no errors. The value vs. price is excellent for people who are just learning OOP and are not sure if C++ is for them, but anyone with experience and/or going into business should look elsewhere. Based on all of the above (and I'm sure I've forgotten some) I would not upgrade to professional or even to the next release (just on principle.)

I agree - BUGGY & BORDERLINE USELESS
I have used versions 3, 4, & 5 over time. I just updated to 6 and what a mess. I can not get complex numbers to work at all. It is a simple thing to do - include <complex.h> and declare the variable complex<double> a. Just adding these two lines to a new application fails to compile under version 6. If you want support, it is $225 per case/question unless you pay for a support contract (didn't ask what that cost). Your other options include checking the FAQ database or posting to the newsgroup. If you post to the newsgroup, someone else (not from borland) must feel like replying with an answer - good luck on that happening.

Amazing Product for Serious Development
Although I cannot comment on this version of Borland C++ Builder, the company I work at switched from Visual Studio to Borland C++ Builder Enterprise about 6 months ago. I have to say that I am extremely impressed with the Enterprise version. Have never seen anything like it before (well, VB was kind of like it, only nowhere near as good). Our company has increased it's turnover thanks to this product, as we're now completing projects in a fraction of the time. The only thing that concerns me is the 'head architect' dude who left Borland and went to Microsoft. You can really see his work shining through the new Microsoft Visual Studio .NET environment, and I dare say that VS .NET is much easier to use than VS6. I am also a little concerned about the lack of support there is when it concerns the use of Borland's MIDAS (now called DataSnap) 3-tier technology (not available in the Personal release). In terms of 3-tier architectures, Borland (IMHO) wins hands down. DataSnap is brilliant and easy to use. Just need more help on DataSnap for BCB6 (there is plenty for Delphi). A very satisfied customer...

BUGGY....borderline useless
I have been a developer for a number of years. I have used visual c++, as well as borland's c++ builder. I have to say, that even though vc++ has its problems, none of them hold a candle to the kind of bugs bcb has. I cant count the number of times, borland has thrown an assertion, or an access violation just from selecting a break point! There are even bugs in the vcl code that prevent compiling! Here is a typical scenario: I boot up bcb. I open my project. I build it. I run it. It decides i havent built it yet so it rebuilds it, then shows me an error in some vcl file. ???? I rebuild it manually (after shutting down builder and restarting). No error, runs fine. Another scenario: Same as above, but borland randomly decides to throw an assertion while debugging, forcing a shut down of borland from the task manager (thus losing all my breakpoints, and if i havent saved, all my save info). All i can say is GRRRRRRRRR!

Not for Beginners
I bought this to update an old engineering program I'd written a decade ago. It came with minimal documentation, nothing that a beginner programmer can understand - not even on the CD. I checked their web site, which was not helpful, and after three attempts at installing the program (the installation program politely asked me if I wanted it to mangle Office 97 or Office 2000, neither of which I had on that computer), finally got it installed. I asked their customer support about the Office thing, and they send me a correct but not helpful email. I did manage to figure it out myself. Sure 'nuff, it was a pain to use. They did agree to take it back. I downloaded a free copy of Lcc-Win32, a free C compiler, that includes decent documentation and seems plenty powerful. It's at http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~lcc-win32/.
