Version 2 I thought was a breeze to use. With the release of 3.0 and CSD, all I can say is WOW!!! I found bugs in the first day I had been looking at for weeks. I did find one thing I think is a bug though, #line preprocessor statements confuse it. As for some of the others, I tried Lattic (Slow as snails) and anything that requires overlays on a 68000 system can forget it. A lot of the others I have not tried because either they were not around when I was looking or there were horror stories about there use. -- Johnnie --
