	From: "Craig St. Jean"
	Subject: Thank You!

	Hello, I just received my Digital Mars C/C++ CD today.
	I already knew how it was with the download version,
	but wow, this is great! The editor, DOS+Win support,
	and everything is all great! I will recommend this
	product to all of my friends because it is definitely
	the best. The help is also very easy to use because it
	is a frame based web site. Borland's isn't very easy
	because there are like 12 help files and I never know
	which to use, and Microsoft's uses CHM files that take
	forever to load. Thank you so much for creating this
	product, it is by far the best!

	Also, a suggestion, to widen your audience, this
	product would do very well in Linux/Unix/BSD!

	Subject: "I love this compiler!"

	This is a great compiler!

	I just wanted to say that you people did a great job on this
	compiler.
	

	Just wanted to say thanks for your work on v8.29.  The addition of so much
	template support along with the capability of running STLport and the Boehm
	Garbage Collector (I realize the GC has been available for some time) has
	made Digital Mars my compiler of choice.  To give that the appropriate
	weight, I should mention that I spent an entire day attempting to get a C++
	compiler environment that would allow me to simultaneously use STLport,
	BOOST, and the Boehm GC, together with any binary libraries that could be
	built.  I also wanted full template support so that I could use some of the
	designs from "Modern C++ Design" by Andrei Alexandrescu.  I attempted to do
	this with:

	MSVC 6.0
	MSVC 7.0/.NET
	GCC, in Cygwin mode
	GCC, in MinGW mode
	Digital Mars

	I had already dismissed Borland's free C++ compiler because the only
	available debugger caused my machine to crash horribly whenever I ran it.
	When I attempted to evaluate their full C++Builder 6.0, I was unable to get
	it to compile a straightforward Win32 "Hello World" application unless I
	did it with their classes and their file layout, and their .

	MSVC 6.0 will build all of the libraries, in some fashion.  It's template
	support, is notoriously weak, so I couldn't use the advanced designs.

	MSVC 7.0/.NET will not install the development environment on Win9x -- it
	requires NT/2K/XP.

	Cygwin and MinGW both exhibited various problems successfully building the
	BOOST libraries, and the Boehm GC does not support either of these compilers.

	Digital Mars now has the template support I want, supports STLport and the
	Boehm GC.  The only weakness, which I have simply resigned myself to, is
	that I seemed to be unable to properly build the BOOST libraries.  I can
	still use almost all of BOOST through the include headers (BOOST is mostly
	templates), but I can't use the Python, RegEx, or Threads libraries.  I am
	not certain if this is a problem with DMC or not.  BOOST builds with a
	program called Jam from Perforce (actually, a boost extended version called
	bjam, but that's not a major issue).  I had the same problem with all
	non-MS compilers, so I doubt there is much you can do about this.

	By the end of that day (having evaluated everything but DMC) I was almost
	resigned to switching to some language where people actually had useful
	compilers and libraries, except that I couldnt' think of any that had the
	expressiveness I needed.  I was quite depressed.  Then I remembered DMC's
	Boehm GC support and looked on the website to see if a new version had been
	released.  Lo and behold, 8.29 was available, and it answered my prayers.
	Full template support, garbage collection, and full STL and iostreams support.

	While I realize there may be some polishing issues for all of these new
	features, I appreciate the considerable effort that you continue to put
	into your products.

	Thank you,
	Mac
