In a little defense of my department. We do start in CS 1 and 2 doing WIn32 console programs. Not quite drag and drop, although the new version of Visual C++ is getting to the point where even thta is. If we want we can opt to take an MFC or VB class after our algorithms course. Until we get there it is all at least command line driven at a Win32 commnd prompt. James To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
