Ok, so lets stop complaining and start doing some useful things. I, for one, recommend the Benchmark package. It is already shipping in its final release form (from Avant Garde software, Leon Frenkel's company), and it's looking REAL GOOD. Just for the record, I have no personal interest in Avant Garde, other than the desire to see such a superior product survive in the Amiga market. – Steve –

Steve– As a Benchmark owner, I am glad that your article in Amazing Computing are for it (as well, I assume, as for TDI.) Had some fun typing in the EtchGlobal modules last night. (Only got as far as the first two.) Got 14 errors first time. Turned out that when I used a magnifying glass I saw that there were curly brackets and square brackets where I thought there were parens. What does "More real than formal parameter" mean, though? Also, I liked the idea of ExitGracefullould I add those modules to the .DEF files of each of my program, or would I add it to M2L and just import it? I am still having trouble understanding concepts like LINKING and modules. But I will get it sooner or later. // Jim

"More real than formal parameter" mean (to me anyway) that you're trying to pass more arguments to a procedure than the procedure's declaration defined. Glad you liked the ExitGracefully stuff. I like the idea so much, that I dedicated a whole article to it (the next one to be published, which will probably be in May. Unfortunately, it wasn't included in the April issue). In this article I present a truely general module which you could simply place in M2L. You could do the same with the EtchGlobal stuff, if you'de like; just rename things and make them more general. – Steve –

One of the highest recommendations I heard for Benchmark came from a hardcore C type I know who said they were thinking about getting 'it. I have a loaner (beta version) of BM and will probably never see th efinal release so you all will have to keep me informed. (* ET *)
