Ben-
Thanks for the review, good job.
A couple of my own questions:
When you say "and it is a huge improvement for
Windows
users." Does that mean it's a huge improvement from CWPro6 or a huge
improvement from CWPro5?
My two cents would be if it's the same IDE as CWPro6 then I don't see the
need for the 190 upgrade.
It might be worth it if item 2 meant a huge improvement with communication
and the Pose.
Other than that doesn't sound too exciting to me.
I usually like to wait till a compiler has been out for a while and at least
one update is released before even thinking about spending my money.
Now of course if a gigantic USB project comes up, well???????????

I've been beta testing it [CWPalm7], and it is a huge improvement for
Windows
users. I'm not as sure for Mac-based programmers.
1) The IDE is the new 4.1 version introduced in CW Pro 6. On Windows, this
IDE has had much of its code written to be Win32-native rather than run on
MacOS compatability libraries. The new find functionality is great, and I
love rectangle selection cut-and-paste.
2) The debugger is much, much better. Bitfield bugs are fixed, and
communication with POSE is better. Plus, it now supports USB debugging to
Handspring devices.
3) The C++ compiler has caught a few more errors, and the code quality is
better, although not dramatically.
