   My experience with the other Windows option, BoundsChecker, is
similarly negative and I haven't bothered upgrading for a couple of
versions (so can only use it with VC++ 6). The original developer,
NuMega, were great but they were absorbed into Compuware which seems
to see it more as a source of consulting income than as a product. I'm
fairly experienced with BoundsChecker and related programs (like their
profiler) so could run it over a test suite if a license was provided.
A demonstration license can probably not be installed on my machine
due to earlier installs.
