ROTFL!  Thank you.

I'm considering upgrading from CSET ++ V2.0 to VisualAge C++ V3.0, but
I've not yet decided whether it is worth to me the $200+ that it would
cost.

How does V3 compare with V2, particularly in documentation, debugging,
and SOM programming?  With V2, I keep running into places where the
*.h files contradict the *.inf contents, or *.inf tells me nothing more
than I can determine by looking at the *.h files (example code is
sometimes no more complete than the code shown in the Syntax window); I
keep crashing or locking up the debugger when trying to debug
multithreaded programs that utilize event semaphores; and I have yet to
find out how to force CSET into recompiling the WPCAR sample, so SOM
work has been pretty much out of the question.

How much better is V3.0?
