I had *never* used Codeview while I was using MSC and never felt a need to do so. So, switching to Turbo C caused no sense of loss. In fact, I much prefer developing under Turbo C; its faster, the integrated environment is great, and the code produced is better (at least the EXE file for my application is smaller using TC than MSC). My application is now 8000 lines and growing. I agree with your comments about the bugs people are griping about. Micro users have it pretty good compared to mainframe users when it comes to software prices. When I find a bug in some package I'm using, I try to find some work around and if I can I'm satisfied. I'm just glad there is at least one company (Borland) who's willing to sell software at prices that people can afford to buy. Peter Steele Acadia Univ.
