There are a number of non-official ones running around, however. I could see why you'd be shocked regarding the availability of a patch disk if you used Microsoft products, though.. With MSC, you have to wait two years and buy an upgrade with even more bugs (cf. MSC 6.0). That's what I like about Borland: "Ooops. We blew it. Here, run this program and it'll fix your compiler. Sorry." And no charge (you can download it from CI$, and as of TC 2.0, they could be redistributed freely, including via ftp). Yeah, I like Borland better than Microsoft. :-) I've even converted some people here at work! ;-) #include -dg- -- "You can twist perceptions * Dave Goldblatt dave@interlan.com Reality won't budge..." * Diagnostic Engineering - Rush * Racal InterLan * Boxborough MA (508) 263-9929
