Thanks David. I think your comments, be they critical or complimentary,
are always valued by us. The same is true for everyone else on this
forum. From our perspective we really needed a new IDE, especially for
Mac and Linux folks. My gosh, the old IDE was from the 90s! The Motif
version will never be spoken of again. ;) A lot of resources went into
the new IDE and finally for 8.0 we could focus on additional things. We
like to see the Coyote's grin.
Cheers,
Doug
