Just a note to inform the uninformed netlandiers or those who seem to be having a problem with porting MSC (or whatever) code to Turbo C: Turbo C is based on the ANSI standard for C which is in many ways very different from the traditional hack-em-up C that we all know and love. You are bound to see a few differences. FLAME ON--- Why do so many of you fuss so much saying that Turbo C is broken or doesn't work right. Have you ever read the ANSI standard and compaired??? FLAME OFF--- Granted that its a new package and there are bound to be a few bugs in its implemention. That goes along with all new packages. Given some time, it should be better. Look how long its taken for MSC to evolve... As an aside for the new life, try C++. It's good for what ails ya. It has lots of the new ANSI stuff already in it. ----------------- James B.
