Listings? What listings? I don't know about you, but the times I'm most likely to use a compiler are where I probably can't analyze the code for correctness anyway (my major embedded system is 8+M of object code.) Fortunately, most compiler errors show up in application-level testing anyway, and can be traced to the compiler relatively easilly (fixing them may be another problem.) We are rather careful about changing compiler versions, however. Source code control is useful, but if you're careful, you'll do version control on your entire tool set... BillW
