John, I have 5.10 installed and have not had any problems so far. I agree
that there should be better testing, but I also agree with Mike. We
installed Microsoft 6.0 on our 386's at work a few months ago.. Wow! bug
city! Microsoft don't blow up though, they just fire tons of "Internal
compiler error, contact Microsoft etc…" messages at you. And when you
call them, they say "try turning off the optimizer". And the code we run
through it compiled & ran fine under older versions! I think this problem
exists on other platforms, and don't think SAS or Manx are any different.
Lets see how fast these bugs are corrected now.
