I just got my copy two days ago. It is MASSIVE. Nine disks. Included in the package are the engine (sits in the system heap, eats up 650K!), the HyperCard interface, the C interface, the network interface, and lots of other stuff. I haven't really had a chance to go over it in detail, but it looks very professionally done. In particular, I get a good feeling when the first thing I see when I open a product is a small booklet describing known bugs and limitations. You tend to worry a bit less about UNknown bugs... On the other hand, I wonder why they couldn't shove the engine above bufPtr and leave the System Heap alone? (or just put a pointer to the engine in the Sys heap...) On the whole, it will take months of work for anyone to become sufficiently expert with this product to judge it well. At least they hit their revised ship date, which is more than can be said about most companies these days... Alexis Rosen alexis@ccnysci.uucp
