I agree with you very much!  Oh, by the way, if Commodore is willing to
send me a hard drive and a copy of Lattice C (or by mid summer C++) and
pay me for my time, I'd be more than glad to write one for them (I
write pretty good code :)!  I though about doing something like this
(well, some different ideas) but I do not have the equipment to really
do it.  Maybe Matt Dillon would be willing to tackle this as his next
project?  You would make a killing, Matt, if you sold it for, say, $50
a copy.  A nice manual.  Etc., etc., etc.  Something that fits on one
disk...  (Sorry, I started drooling!)
