I've been seriously (finally) th{inking abw3out getting a decent
programming environment for my GS, and I've decided on either TML
Pascal II or Orca/Pascal. Basically, I was wondering which one is
better. I guess the most apt question would be which is less buggy?
[Kind of sad when that question is the one which determines product
choice].
I've also decided on getting Orca/C (used, cheap w/full dox) and would
like to know how seriously bug-ridden this system is. We all know that
it has bugs, I want to know how bad it is. I've heard of "i++" bugs
which would seem rather serious (although easly gotten around).
Are Orca/C bugs well documented by Byteworks (or user group
publications or something?) I trust I'm not let alone to fend {off
bugs...(yes, I have the noteworthy people on the net...but that's
yet another problem :))
Thanks...in advance as always.
Oh...this topic has been hashed enough on the net...I think we could
all save bandwidth, if you just dropped your opinions/sugestions to
me via email.

There are some window leaks and monitor crashes sometimes though.

Mike says he gathers bug reports, and has a "someday, some way" schedule for a next version of C. -- Avery Ray Colter {apple|claris}!netcom!avery {decwrl|mips|sgi}!btr!elfcat (415) 839-4567 "I feel love has got to come on and I want it: Something big and lovely!" - The B-52s, "Channel Z"
