Following on from the "great GPM debate".... Speaking as a part-time student (and full-time programmer) who has used GPM on a fair few occassions, including participation in a non-trivial revision control system project (albeit at undergrad level), I have found GPM to be an excellent package. The type of code that I have written would probably not have tested GPM to it's limits, but it certainly offers many meaningful error, information and diagnostic messages. It is also very handy to be thrown into vi at the point at which the error occurs. I can't comment about implementation issues regarding the product, as I know little about the internals of the software. My opinions are formed only on what the average user would see. For what it's worth, I would certainly offer a positive impression of the product, and would suggest that the PC version would also be well worth a look when it finally surfaces in production form. -- Rob McMillan. ccrob@uqvax.cc.uq.oz.au
