What's the scoop on the new Orca/M upgrades? I didn't get my upgrade offer yet -- well, maybe I did, but it's probably at home and not here. - Andrew. aabenson@balance.cs.mtu.edu or AABENSON@MTUS5.BITNET

However, you can buy the upgrade and the upgraded Orca/Disassembler for $30. The disassembler by itself has a list price of $49.95 (although Programs Plus lists it for $32). Shipping and handling is free in North America. Here are some of the features of Orca/M v1.1.7 o the CATALOG command puts a '+' before files with resource forks o COPY command can handle resource forks o editor can import files with non-ASCII characters, including debug characters from PRIZM o latest version of ZapLink (1.2.3) is included with the upgrade o ZapLink's symbol table has been improved o MacGen has been rewritten, doubling its speed. MacGen now supports input files > 64K; recognizes tab characters in input files; supports OMF 2.0 files and skips ExpressLoad headers, making it compatible with ZapLink. I'd like to hear from someone who's used the Disassembler. Is it worth the $20 over the price of the assembler upgrade? Have you found it useful? Thanks, Ray lang@rex.cs.tulane.edu
