	I guess this could be considered a "flame" by some people.. And
I will upfront admit that I have never used HyperC and never really used
Orca to any extent...

	But it seems to me a "buggy system like orca" (which seems to
continually get massive upgrades and Mike Westerfield seems to be
very helpful to users from what people have said of him on here) is
better than a system that does NOT even have a scanf function, one of
the functions first described in K&R! At least people on here have said
that it doesn't have a scanf function and people have to keep finding
weird ways of getting input like getch or something like that instead of
standard ways like scanf and getchar().

	By the way, another advantage of ORCA C is that it's GS specific
and will allow use of the ToolBox.. and the company that wrote it is
still in existance!

	If I'm wrong about any of this, please correct me.
