Having used MSC 6.0 for (what was going to be) production material, I have found 2 Fatal compiler errors and once found bad code being generated. The total hotline support from MS has been "your error is on file". They refuse to give out bug lists and they have no patches. In other words, if you use MSC 6.0, tough luck. These were for real, repeatable, short bugs. I hate to see what they might do for subtle bugs. I would strongly advise going back to 5.1 until 6.1 comes out if you have the choice. I had to strip out all the 6.0 features I foolishly put in when we realized that 6.0 wasn't safe or supported in any real way. Luckily, my boss (who warned me about switching from 5.1) is fairly forgiving, despite the lost development time. Tom West
