It isn't what you worked with 3 years ago. Further, the 386 tools are significantly improved over what you saw 3 years ago. 3 years is a long time in this industry, Tek's time-to-market notwithstanding. I'd discount Wally's experiences unless you are dealing with a toolset sold to you 3 years back. Hutch (another former tek employee, btw)
