"I have LightspeedC v2.15 and often have problems. I'm sure that most
are due to my lack of programming on the Mac, but some are not."

What *kind* of problems?! Does the environment crash? Do your
programs not work correctly? If you can enumerate the kind of problems
you're having, perhaps we can help you.

Also, LightspeedC costs $175. Well within your $500 budget. (I suspect
that you haven't bought LighspeedC, or else you'd realize this, but
I won't call you a pirate publicly. I didn't buy my first copy
of LightspeedC either. :-) )

Programs written with LightspeedC:

	XPress (Quark)
	Aldus PageMaker (Aldus)
	Adobe Illustrator (Adobe Systems)
	LightspeedC (THINK Technologies)
	Capps Prime Editor Construction Kit (THINK Technologies)
	LaserSpeed (THINK Technologies)
	Canvas (Deneba Software)
	StuffIt (Shareware, Raymond Lau)
	
There are others, but I don't know them all, and I don't have an exhaustive
list. Oh yes--

	LaserTalk (Emerald City Software)

The point is, several very large (and commercially successful, I might add)
products have been written with LightspeedC, which is good testimony to
its overall usefulness.
