. I've just gotten a mailing offering Actor 3.1 for $99.99, with some
other goodies thrown in: a book and tutorial disk called "Read Me
First" for free, the "seal-off" module for $29.99, and the Whitewater
Resource Toolkit for $119.99 - offer good till 20 July.

  I'm not a Windows developer (yet), but I've been looking for good
tools for writing Windows utilities. I don't know if this is what I'm
looking for; there was a review of Actor 3.0 (I think) in one of the
magazines a few months ago, that described it as, in a word, clumsy.
The one possible advantage over Visual Basic that I can see is the
ability to incorporate C code for the various functions to be executed.

  Do any of you out there know anything about Actor 3.1, in particular
whether any of the (alleged) deficiencies of 3.0 have been remedied?
Is 3.1 by itself sufficient, or will I need to shell out for a full-
strength C compiler in addition? In short: is it a good deal?

  Any constructive replies (no flames, no religious wars) will be
appreciated. I'll be listening on this frequency.
