Anyone else knows about this, please post (or e-mail me)
since I'm into getting myself a good development system,
and presently consider Think C 4.0 8MPW ? Say No Go!)

So, soes it have CASE TRANSPOSING ?? This is why I use EMACS. I mean, really.
Case transposing, flashing parentheses and autoindent can be quite nifty
preparing lab reports, novels or letters too, apart from being a must in
any code editor. Does any word processor on the market provide this ?
(Microsoft ? Are you listening ? 8)

And about QUARK Xpress and speed: PageMaker 3.0 is compiled with LSC,
which is not as optimizing as MPW (In fact: not optimizing...) It
might gain being re-compiled in MPW.

But I understand the people at Aldus: LSC is the best environment by far.
(Personal opinion, of course...)

'nuff said. Have a nice evening out or something.
