I was poking around with my friends mac nosy (2.01 I believe) and was getting
errors just trying to access files -- does anyone know why it trys to access
filename.src when the filename is trucated to 10 characters (instead of the
whole name) and then claims that there is an error (-31? -- it was a noexistant
volume error). The same thing happens when you try and quit and save the .map
and .jnl files. Also occasionally it would bomb when 'combining blocks' with
some sort of LIB error that would freeze the mouse. -- Obviously this is not
for the faint of heart -- but I couldn't even figure out enough to tell if it
was worth the buying. Is the latest version more robust?

PS I wasn't sure if this fit more into .programmer or here so please forgive
me if you are offended with where I posted this.

The name length problem was due to an ugly piece of code buried deep in Nosy but it has been gone for at least a year. The other "features" you mentioned are also gone, replaced with a fairly unbreakable product (even if it doesn't have the most Mac-like interface you ever saw, it is at least all windowed and menu driven now). The combination of Nosy and The Debugger is just LightYears ahead of TMON with a feature list a yard long (and growing daily, literally). I think it doesn't get as much press as TMON because Jasik is not everbody's favorite guy, but th product has really helped my coding and was worth the price.
