Ben, I agree, WP ain't perfect. However, after some of the service I've seen in this industry, I was impressed with the company. For really big projects I prefer to use our own product we developed at our company – it's much easier to use and handles large documents better. But for what I use it for, WP is fine, and again, I've been impressed with their service attitude. I've done some pretty significant projects with Manx, too. Up through 3.6, I had no problem at all. I, too, use a pretty structured approach to my work. I welcome the function prototyping capability with 5.0. It's a really necessary feature when using the compiler with 16-bit ints, especially when running some of the PD or other people's stuff through it. I almost always use type aliases with my stuff, but you still can get in trouble with the library functions in a weak moment. 73, Jerry (WA2JFJ)
