But, OUGHT... Which specific functions from the framework do you need? Let's be honest, it's a simple program for calculations; it doesn't really need anything special. If you really want to, you could even make it a console application. And for a small program, would someone really have to install a framework? That's just not practical. Although, it depends on what exactly you want to do, of course, but... It's probably just related to the interface, which is very easy to create in Borland products anyway, and the program remains lightweight.
They exist, and they exist very well, and they work perfectly well without the 3.5 framework.
