5839.0. "Borland Products on Alpha NT" by NETRIX::"[email protected]" (Thomas Gaillat) Tue Mar 25 1997 06:58

Hi,

I would like to know whether some Borland products (delphi, c++, Interbase,
Intrabuilder Interclient) have been ported to Alpha NT.

If you know a contact name or any relevant info I will be more than happy to
hear from you.

Thanks in advance,

Thomas

    I also have a prospect looking for Borland Delphi support on Alpha NT. 
    He's currently max'd out on his Compaq and is turning to the Alpha
    alternative.
    
    This brings up a more general question regarding native Alpha NT
    compilers.  Is there any effort to recruit other vendors besides
    Microsoft and Digital to offer a native Alpha compiler?  In fact, as I
    understand it, Digital really does the Alpha optimization for the
    Microsoft compilers.  Would it be reasonable to do the same for other
    software vendors?
    
    Until there's more native Alpha tools out there, there will always be a
    big fear factor involved in making an Alpha NT decision.
