I unpacked the Yaroze, read the startup guide and proceeded to look at some demos, compiling and editing from the wonderful DOS prompt. This worked fine. Two weeks later (I only do stuff on the Yaroze at Weekends), I thought I should try out CodeWarrior. What a pile of cack! There's nothing there that I can't do from DOS. Granted, I have coding experience and am familiar with makefiles, projects and also change control, but to fork out £90 for a glorified (bad) editor, with a Yaroze comms program only marginally easier to use than SIOCONS, I feel is a complete waste. (sorry for the long sentence - bad grammar an' all). Unfortunately, I think there's a two week return period for CodeWarrior, hence, even though I don't use this product, there's no way for me to get my money back! Let this be a warning for those who're thinking of buying it - the IDE's a bit crap and the only reason to get it is if you can't suss out makefiles. If any of you know of anything decent that CodeWarrior CAN do, then please let me know, cos I just don't get it!
