I've missed reading this group since it switched from comp.sys.apple, and was
wondering if I missed anything important. What I am most interested in is
knowing whether or not the new version of the Orca C Compiler for the IIgs has
been released? (The one with the bug fixed)
If not, is there any word on when it *will* be released? I can only go *so*
long without C. :-)

From my vantage point it seems that Mike has been bitten with the Pascal bug and as such refuses to see that ANSI C can reference things before they are defined. Other posters don't seem to have the same constraints and seem to say that the NEXT bug fix will make ORCA 1.1 the supreme. Not my view.

Mike in fact is being guided by a not too much out of date draft of the ANSI C standard. I sent him my bug list some time ago, and almost all of those bugs have been fixed for ORCA/C 1.1. I have no idea what you are talking about with regard to "referencing things before they are defined". So far as I can tell, ORCA/C 1.1 has no serious problems that could fall under that label, whatever it is supposed to mean. (How about an example?)
