We have the same problem here at both 115k and 57k. It's getting annoying. This is under win95 btw. >Also when using the MWOPEN command, what device name should be used to >allow transfer of from the PC to the Yaroze? Any example code would be >a bonus... Although judging from the manuals, the word 'example' is >something unheard of... Same again... The manuals seem such a mix of mac/windows/ps-x.... If we get everything working I'll be happy, but currently it is just much easier to use siocons. All I want is to be able to shift code to CodeWarrior to use the debugger!!! We won't be using the CodeWarrior editor too much anyway. Oh, and CW's IDE and GUI is far too Mac like. eeek! Page Down doesn't even take the cursor with it in the editor.... Maybe its a setup option somewhere. I never did like Mac's. Too friendly by half ;) Other than the problems and poor documentation/examples, the IDE itself looks to have good functionality, but a poor GUI. We have got windows buried under toolbars, non docking toolbars, no window redraws when you move some windows over others, etc.... Feels too much like a beta product, maybe it is. When did the 1st PC version come out? I'm sure the Mac version is great but this version still needs some work on the small things really. All the major compiling and linking options are good and very easy to use. We did get a linking bug with the playstation library though - converting float to short. The same line works fine in gcc. * Alex Amsel * Into Beyond Web Design & JAVA Programming * * http://www.intobeyond.com * WWFC Play off ****ers'97 * MM: "Hand the opposition the lead, the supporters love it"
