The reason I said the strong things I did is because I have seen folks come here and ask about TDI and Benchmark and have seen you reply with something like: "If you want a real compiler, buy Benchmark." Since you don't have the release version of TDI this_is_simply_unfair, and reflects your past experience, and not the quality of the current product. Given the current release of TDI for 99$, and the few dollars it will take to download the fixes Erv and I have supplied here, I would say you get much more for your money with TDI. I simply don't know of any bugs (other than the RKM call fixes I just mentioned) that make a significant difference. I do hope in the future when people ask about the two compilers you can find it in yourself to say something a little more modereate such as "I have had trouble with past versions of TDI, but don't own the current, so can't say…" Chip Orange
