From: Ron <FISCHER@RUTGERS.ARPA> My complaint about the UCSD system is: support is rather spotty. Softech sells it and probably makes some reasonable amount of money, but I guess that isn't enough to make them want to enhance the system's capabilities. The system seems small enough that it would be possible for someone to modify the code and install new pieces, like a debugger. Does anyone know if Softech will sell a source license? Or are they just sitting it? Is there a debugger out there anywhere? (ron) -------

As I remember, SofTech 4.0 has a debugger. The real probem with 4.0, and the reason I don't use it, is that it is very, very slow; like at coffee-break speeds. This is the penalty paid for having unlimited units I suppose. At any rate, SofTech will sell the source license. Marc
