>1. What's available? >2. What's it cost? http://www.tech-tools.com will answer both those questions. Basically, it does all 12-bit and 16-bit processors and stays easily within 3-digits unless you support a dozen different chips. Look at their Mathias & TDE products. >3. How good is it (in comparative and absolute terms.) I own one, and have several customers who, at my recommendation, have purchased them. NONE of them has ever expressed any dissatisfaction. Tech support is fantastic (they speak Texan, though ) by e-mail or phone. I don't know of any bugs in the current software (TDE 4.1). And it runs great on NT and 95 (I use it on both), I suppose 3.1 as well. >Reply off list if you think the on-list bandwidth isn't justified. This is a very on-topic item. "What ICE?" is about as on-target as you can get!
