I can understand your frustration with the standard of PC SW, that's why I use my Mac to produce my games, using CW I admit, but I've come across very few bugs in the Mac version, but maybe that's becuase MW write pretty good Mac C\C++ compilers anyway. I gave up pissing about with GNU, all those makefiles an stuff, what happened to GUI? Why have we had to go back to typing shit at command lines? You can stick that, all I wanna type is code. I do still use my PC, but really only for the graphics and sound tools. I'm sorry, but I believe in the evolution of technology, DOS is for the birds. Also I think that with all the self produced documentation and help files going around and stuff posted here over the past 6/7 months, there is only the hardcore stuff you really can't find out, and to be fair I bet most of the Yaroze coders at the moment couldn't take full advantage of it yet anyway (I know I couldn't). The way I see it is this: I've spent good money on this and I fully intend to get the best use I can from it, maybe if you're finding real limitations and frustrations with producing off the shelf quality games you've bought the wrong unit? I think it's got to be remembered that the Yaroze was never intended for producing fully finished off the shelf type games, even though we will all try our very hardest to push it as much as we can.
