Huh Jay? :)

I'm just doing a dummy program that tests the asm stack blasting
sprite code my shape compiler generates.  The dummy program just starts up
the tools with shadowing and fastport on through a rToolStartup (not
compatible with The Manager though) resource, clears the screen to black,
and then calls the sprite code to draw something to the screen.  GetMouse()
works because the whole screen is the grafport.

I'm not using quickdraw for anything as I think that's what you mean by the
bug. Am I right?

That I can confirm because I got Orca/C 2.0 and just got Orca/Pascal 2.0
the yesterday. Rez, shell, docs, editor, etc, etc, comes with both.

BTW, Prizm 2.0.1 from Pascal 2.0 fixes a speed bug that was in Prizm 2.0.0 from
C 2.0.0  However, the numerous, unexplainable, guaranteed to crash bugs in the
new debugger are still there in both packages. :(
Kinda makes buying either worthless as I can't debug them using the desktop
debugger nor with Orca/Debugger 1.0.

I agree too, I got the wire spiral with Orca/C 1.3 and the plastic spiral with
Orca/C 2.0 and Orca/Pascal 1.4.3 and 2.0 and I like the plastic spiral much
better.
