If I remember correctly, there was a utility provided with Megamax C that would allow you to change the ROM call names from lower case only (the Megamax convention) to misxed case (the LSC convention). Alternatively you could define a set of macros, but that's time consuming... I've seen Turbo Pascal, and fast as it is, my Pascal of choice is Lightspeed Pascal. It compiles and links just as fast as Turbo, has a good syntax-checking editor, and uses sophisticated context-switching to implement what you call "saccharine hand-holding" -- and that I call "source-level symbolic debugging". --Rich R-Squared Development Systems 134 Horseshoe Drive Williamsburg, Virginia 23185 (804) 229-2152 [After 6pm eastern time only] Arpanet: rs4u@andrew.cmu.edu Uucp: {your fave gateway}!seismo!andrew.cmu.edu!rs4u Disclaimer?
