Still, I've never used a compiler that was perfect and always succeeded in finding a way to get the job done anyway. When you get a new compiler release, you may or may not get these fixed and I'd bet you'll get some new ones to deal with anyway. So I tend to take the attitude that if ACT hasn't made a new public release in a while, I could still utilize what they have released quite well. I think we get a little too acustomed to the notion that if software isn't released quarterly there must be something wrong. An old program that works predictably with a reliable set of features is often a blessing if you can still use it to get your job done.
