Update - VBA, Borland, Programming

For those playing with VBA, I intend to continue this vein for a while, whilst also providing C, C++ and other language updates, of course. Newcomers to Visual Basic for Applications might be interested in the following links:

The poll has been updated with a new question to reflect my current 'focus'.

I have also fielded a few questions about the Borland C compiler. Mainly from people who would like me to send them a copy. Based on my understanding of the license conditions, I can not do that. What I can do, however, is fill you all in on the current status of the BCC tools.

Firstly, the Borland C (and C++) compiler that I use is now part of the Borland C++ Builder legacy release. This means that it is provided as a free download from the following link:

http://www.codegear.com/Downloads/TrialandFreeVersions/CBuilder/tabid/139/Default.aspx

This can be used with all my articles, and the setup and use is identical whether you are programming for C or C++. The compiler will autodetect the variant based on the extension (.c, .cpp, .h, .hpp etc.)

The articles can be found from the base link:

Happy coding!
