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. -Troy
