I'm inclined to think that, at the very least, such a quick decision was 
perhaps a little too hasty. I mean, it's only an eventuality that the 
time will arise in which Dev-C++ or some other compiler will not meet 
the stringent standards demanded by xxx-library. VC is no small 
download, not for those of us still struggling with dialup (I get 24Kpbs 
here :(...)
