If >they were at my disposal, I would use them. Go to www.gimpel.com and check the prices PC-lint one workstation licence is $239. Yes Purify is rather more expensive at $750 and is arguably less essential. However I would bet large money that both products would pay for themselves in six months and, in the case of PC-Lint, a very few weeks. The only trouble is that most source code is of such poor quality that you have to very slowly wind up the level of checking with PC-Lint to prevent being swamped with the many (genuine) defects in the code. -- Francis Glassborow ACCU 64 Southfield Rd Oxford OX4 1PA +44(0)1865 246490 All opinions are mine and do not represent those of any organisation --- [ comp.std.c++ is moderated.
