Help a beginner

Hi I'm a student and
I want to write an application that controlls a external component over
a IEEE NI PCMIA card and gives data back.
I have the documentation of the component including all comand strings.
The component is currently installed over the GPIB interface, with this
I can send strings and read out data out.
I want to use BorlandBuilder under Win2000 for this , and I found the
examples 🙂
Where can I find some more documentation ?
I don't need graphic output or mathematic processing for the first !

If I intend (later !) to buy addtional developing components what do I
need (for (RT processing, mathematical calculations and graphic output
?) But keeping BorlandBuilder as developing environment (Is this OK ?
possible ? what'
s recommended ?)
Whats the advatage of Labview is it faster with data transfer than C++
over GPIB ?

In the last step :
How many sense it makes to think about writing an new driver for that
component (IVI) (current driver is LabVIEW)

Thanks in advandce
And sorry if some questions are perhaps very basic
PLZ E-Mail me the awnser if possible ...
