Suggestion noted. Kevin Irlen Symantec Languages Support
Your suggestions regarding color and increased modularity in the TCL have been noted. Kevin Irlen Symantec Languages Support
If you stick with C, 5 Mb should be approximately as OK for fair-sized TCL apps as it was in TC5, but it'll probably be tight if you do it in C++. Kevin Irlen Symantec Languages Support
This is currently a bug in the compiler. Destructors for Pascal Objects (i.e. descendants of CObject) are not being compiled correctly and this is showing up as a link error. Unfortunately, there is no workaround available; you won't be able to use destructors with Pascal Objects. Kevin Irlen Symantec Languages…
Hi, I spoke with our Product Manager and he assures me there is indeed a ZTC reduced-price upgrade. He asked if you could provide your telephone number so he can contact you directly to clear this matter up. Kevin Irlen Symantec Languages Support
[continued] Though there are existing problems with SourceServer, I hope this clears up the two key misunderstandings regarding the command line interface and using multiple projector DB's, and that you will again be able to consider using SourceServer worth the effort.

>> True, this could be documented better (at all); it does serve a function though. You could in fact be switching between different projector db's. > Yes, unfortunately the manual mistakenly documents a feature of SourceServer which is NOT available in Symantec C++.

You probably don't need to upload your program. Although ZREF errors "should never occur," they in fact do, often in connection with exiting to shell from the debugger. Try removing objects, turning off debugging, and running (even if you know your program has bugs). This sometimes clears up the problem,…
Neither Symantec C++ for Macintosh nor THINK C 6.0 come with a hard copy SLR manual. The manual is replaced by the online THINK Reference database that comes with both packages. Kevin Irlen Symantec Languages Support
> Well, the segmentation mechanism was hardly intended to serve as a means of organizing documentation, but I'll pass on your suggestion that the TPM check to see whether there's at least one file in a "segment" with translator assigned to it. Kevin Irlen Symantec Languages Support
Symantec has recently announced that we will be publishing a bug list sometime next month — there is no such list available at the moment. There really aren't any general rules for determing why or how a project has become corrupted, but when it does happen (are you getting a…
> At our desks, in the lunchroom, in the restrooms, at home by our beds, stapled to our heads… (If the ARM comes out in paperback, we'll staple it, too — fortunately IM 1-6 is on disk in THINK Ref!) However, we spend so much time online that we don't…
(From previous responses to this question:) You'll get this link error anytime a reference to a virtual method is made when the vtable has not been built. The compiler uses the first virtual method in a class to start the vtable, and subsequent methods will use that as a starting…
We are working on the first maintenance release for 6.0. However, our policy is not to supply information about future releases or release dates. Kevin Irlen Symantec Languages Support
