Yep, I just can't say it enough. When I got C 2.0 back in January, it broke
when I first tried to debug a school assignment. Real quickly too. I don't
like paying a lot for stuff that went big publicity, but doesn't work.

Since I have Pascal 2.0 now, I recommend you update your Prizm to 2.0.1 if
it's still 2.0.0.  The only difference between the two prizms, as far as I
can tell, is the major response lag, like typing in a window or moving the
mouse, in 2.0.0.

I still don't suggest either still as neither Prizm debugs any program that
involves pointers period.  I still use C 1.3 and Pascal 1.4.3 for anything.
