I bought CodeWarrior when I got it thinking it was a bit of a bargain, but my impressions are that its utter tosh - it's like they made a special effort to make it crap - slow window redraws, non standard buttons, menus - everyone else does it this way, but oh no we'll do it our way, we're right, everyone else is wrong etc. etc.... What does uo use ? - obviosly my immediate options are to struggle on with CW, or go down the gcc route, possibly using another IDE on top of it. I've got a copy of MSVC 4 lying around - can I use that - I saw some stuff on Steve Dunns page about using Dev Studio ??? Anyway any real life stories welcome... cheers Charlie
