Alternatively, dig into the code, learn to know why and how it fails, and go fix it. This is called ``The m-hundred-hour solution''. I'm sure, after doing the second, we have one guy more in the group of people praying in Usenet that ``IDE is basically crap''. I've seen three floppy tape maintainers here.
