Surplus Direct has NT 3.5 Workstation on sale this week for $99.00
(www.surplusdirect.com)

Is that a good value for someone considering "upgrading" from WfWg to
NT? (I'm a little cynical about MS <g>)  It certainly seems that it
would make upgrading from 3.5 to 4.01 pretty affordable.  Any
caveats/gotchas about version 3.5 when used in conjunction with CW
2.002?

I just checked the www reference and it says $189.99 for the price and
the version says NT 3.5 - not NT 3.51. If it is indeed 3.5 then this
is NOT a good deal as that version is quite out of date!

I assume you mean 3.51. I used NT 3.51 workstation for it seems like a
year for my Clarion development platform with no problems of note. CW
16 bit debug does not run on it, but it doesn't on 4.0 either. Sounds
like a good way to get introduced to NT, if you do not need the win95
interface. The interface is very much like WFW 3.11 with some
additions.

A couple of bugs I have reported regarding running 32 bits (CW 2.002)
applications on NT 3.5x:

The right and bottum part of a double window frame, will end up inside the
window area instead of around the window area. The frame may cover controls
on the window.

Several 3D effects will not show. Check boxes and radio buttons, are just
some of the elements that lack the 3D effect.
