My last occam development project used the Sun-based cross-development tools. At last, it gave scope for source code control, makefile rules etc. But then Inmos released the Inquest debugger as a separate product and increased the cost five fold - thereby giving an effective ten-fold increase overnight (two products now needed). I couldn't justify an upgrade and that was my last major occam project. :-( I think Inmos made some bad management decisions, especially latterly. -- Richard Beton BSc CPhys MInstP Roke Manor Research Limited --------- Standard Disclaimer about my own views etc etc -------- --------- My mail client accepts rich text (HTML) mail -------- Welsh Highland Railway: http://www.whr.co.uk/WHR/WHR.html
