- I>Firat off, I'd like to say that the Pacific C package is a nice little
- I>integrated environment for doing software for DOS (especially since the
- I>evaluation cost id nothing!). There are a few unfortunate problems when
- I>mixing stream i/o with console i/o (problems beyond what one would
- I>experience in Turbo C), but my biggest frustration is with the debugger.
- I>
- I>It could be that I don't understand what this debugger is supposed to do,
- I>but from the help menu it looks like it should be able to single-step
- I>code at the C source level. All I get is assembly level. Several of the
- I>commands respond with a "no source loaded" message implying that the
- I>source or debugging info isn't getting loaded.
- I>
- I>Well, I'm turning ON the debug info flag and I don't see any explicit
- I>command from within the debugger to load said source, so I'm stumped!
- I>
- I>Anyone have any ideas??? I've contacted hitech.com.au, but the only
- I>response I got was a statement of the obvious. Is there anything else
- I>(obvious or not), anyone can think of?

- I have it loaded on my machine too but use TC3 because Pacific is
- not a true Ansi C program. Just as an example the comment lines //
- are ignored as /* */ Guess it is supposed to do both C and C++ which
- I believe it does. Clyde at hitech seems to have a nice idea here but
- it isn't finished yet from what I can see. As a freebee it's not bad
- for the simple early programs but when you want to learn the methods
- of more complicated jobs it is not ready as yet, but very close. When
- you work or have a problem send along your code for comparison and
- this way perhaps we can help him improve it. This is a Beta model you
- know or we'd have had to pay for it.
