(Sun SparcStation 1, SunOS 4.1) I quote from a Saber-C pamphlet, "Saber-C is a powerful C programming environment with an integrated set of tools for programming, debugging, testing and maintaining code..." It includes, 1. State and run-time error detection. 2. Incremental linker/loader 3. Graphical browsers 4. Extensible source-level debugger 5. Interactive workspace 6. Integrated editing >Do I want to get it? I left the answer at yes, but was that correct and >will that cause me any trouble later?

You can get info on Saber-C at, Saber Software Inc. 185 Alewife Brook Parkway Cambridge, MN 02138 (617) 876-7636 I shouldn't cause you any problems in your builds. -Dean
