- There is indeed an upgrade to TC++W. I ordered my copy two weeks ago and
- received it by FedEx two days later. (Sorry I can't tell you the order
- phone#.) The upgrade consists of five diskettes, no documentation. It
- costs about $20 plus $10 shipping & handling (a bit much for just five
- diskettes, if you ask me).
-
- The upgrade features (quoting from the README file):
-
- --"Color syntax highlighting: The IDE now highlights your source
- according to syntax."
-
- --"Windows 3.1 support: All executables and DLLs have been
- modified appropriately for compatibility with Version 3.1 of
- Windows. The ObjectWindows Library header files have been
- modified for compatibility with the new Windows header files
- as well."
-
- --"WinSpector, a postmortem Windows debugging tool that traps
- general protection faults and provides information on where
- the fault occurred and the state of the machine at the time."
-
- --"In addition, many problems users have reported have been
- corrected in this release."
-
- I haven't had much time to play with it yet. I will add that new demo
- programs are included and the total package takes up about 4 MB more disk
- space than the 3.0 version--i.e., about 26 MB total.
