Greg, it's not that I'm so loose with my money; the thing didn't cost much! I found it in an Amiga retail store in Phoenix that was in the process of unloading all their merchandise, as they were abandoning the Amiga. It might have cost, oh, $75, and I couldn't turn it down, even though I had no use for it at the time and I didn't even have enough RAM to run it then. I AM interested in your product. If I get the contract I will definitely use it. I don't know whether or not I will purchase it directly from you, or if my client will be able to get it for me at a discount from the retailer where he purchases a great deal of hardware and software. Speaking of books on C++, which of today's offerings would be your first choice? Incidentally, I installed the Lattice system after leaving yesterday's message on CIS, and found that it would not compile hello.cp! Cfront produces a software error, and increasing the stack size to 20000 does not help. I'm not going to worry about it, though, because after reading your message I don't intend to use it. Thanks.
