"Don't buy version x.0 of *anything* from Microsoft". If you're going to buy a Microsoft product, wait until at least version x.1 (if you don't believe me, check out DOS 3.0, DOS 4.0, Microsoft C 4.0, etc etc) Personally, I'm *very* happy with Turbo C 2.0, and have no plans to use anything else. -- Bernie Roehl, University of Waterloo Electrical Engineering Dept Mail: broehl@watserv1.waterloo.edu OR broehl@watserv1.UWaterloo.ca BangPath: {allegra,decvax,utzoo,clyde}!watmath!watserv1!broehl Voice: (519) 885-1211 x 2607 [work]
