I can give you a specific example where they munged together all of the Pascal and C++ discussion into one set of manuals and I didn't feel like either the C++ or the Pascal programmers appreciated the idea of having to filter each other's stuff. That crashingly obvious shortcoming paled in comparison to the untold errors contained in those pages and when I did find what I was looking for, the string class reference, they did not even have the most basic service a string class should have, to wit, an operator=(). I haven't heard a wholelotta positive information since and it's no secret that they blasted their three year lead out of the water, arrogantly proclaiming their superiority as they went down the tube.

Anyway, that's all water over the dam and there's a lot more upside with the stock and the company but I thought it would be useful to warn that the limit to that will have a lot to do with their new focus on tools and the limited profit potential therein.
