        I only have access to a full delphi 3 standard and a delphi 4
professional. Both came on magazines with CDs..
        I installed the delphi 4 professional, and there was a pdf
supplied by borland , on how to build your first application. I
followed the instructions step by step , until I got to:

----QUOTE-----
4 Set DBGrid properties to anchor the grid to the form:
• Click on the plus next to Constraints to expand and show its
subproperties.
• Set AnchorHorz to akStretch.
• Set AnchorVert to akStretch.
----END QUOTE-----

        Of course, these options do not exist in the delphi 4
professional the tutor was shipped with. So I looked around the
internet and was advised to :
        "Install delphi 3 , as delphi 1 is 16 bit, and delphi 2 and 4
are too bug ridden to be usable" a little more searching and an
article saying that even the tutors shipped with delphi 4 did not work
, so I am not at fault.
        As I ONLY have access delphi 3, I need a tutor for delphi 3. I
can't afford to DL anything big, as I have a crappy dial-up, at long
distance phone rates maybe 3x american ones and salaries maybe 1/10 as
much.
        ...
PS ... I program in assembler and C. DOS though. Was advised to go to
delphi for windows programs. Surely delphi 3 is powerful enough to
give me an idea if it is what I need ?
