#Sez You

You are a very abrasive and ignorant person. The statement "we only deal
with professionally coded software here" is so funny that I actually broke
out laughing. "TC" is Borland's Turbo C. It is probably one of the most
professionally coded C compilers in the world. The fact is that C compilers
on Pee Cees, as much as I dislike he computers, are FAR BETTER than ones on
the Amiga. -BOB
I may be abrasive, and seem especially so to you, but there aren't many
people who know me who would back up that ignorant assertion. Borland makes
products for the PC… so the standards and environmentel er, "tal",
constraints they have to work under are completely different, not to say
prehistoric. A programs _effect_ is a totally different issue than the
professionalism of it's coding, something you either have not thought thru
or misunderstood when I made that statement.
In line assembly is the mark of the amatuer. It *is* that, no matter what
the cries of "but I'm a professional" seem to indicate. It's NOT how such
things are done. ILAC is a travesty of opposition to the modular coding
concept, something we embrace completely. I am of the _opinion_ that those
who do NOT embrace modular programming are not "pprofessional", which is
one of those sneaky words that can get away from you if you're not careful.
As for Borland in general… there's a perfect example of a market driven
company – not a _quality_ driven company. Witness the fact that they don't
produce for what we all know to be a better, higher _quality_ platform, the
Amiga… they produce for the PC. Not that I object, in fact I encourage
that. The same for the _Exact_ same action by an individual. You can for
instance give your body to a qaulity individual for subtle rewards as well
as security and quality down the road, that is, later in life, or, you can
sell it on the street and have instant return because there are FAR more
comsumers available at that location, and they will pay better. I see
Borland as living on the street corner, in a very short skirt. Again – I
have no problem with that – but I *do* see it for what it is. I have no
problem with it in people, either, while we're beating on this issue (no
pun intended) but the same attitude applies – I wouldn't be a _customer_.
So, if borland has nice legs and a pretty face, that's good. It'll get them
the business. :^) But it's a pretty good indication that sales are the
goal, not quality.
