I got mine as well after about a 3-4 week wait (I'm not complaining,
they seem honestly swamped [ thats good I guess :) ].

  The first thing I've noticed about Orca/C 2.0 is how the pre-compiled
header files are handled (pre-compiled headers at last!).  My only (small)
gripe about them is that it creates the ".sym" file in the same directory
as the source file(s).  I particularly like to just have my sources and
header files in a project folder and have the OBJs and whatever else to
land one directory down further (out of sight).  I've always been able to
redirect the OBJ's into a OBJs directory, but I don't see any way to
tell the ".sym" files to be placed anywhere but with its source file.
I'ld like to place them in a SYMs folder for example.

  If someone wants to forward the above paragraph to Mike W. (posting it
on AOL or Genie or whatever), I wouldn't mind at all.... and if there's
a solution or something I over looked, please let me know.
