Actually the feature list is pretty clear, it just isn't complete.  It 
doesn't mention any of the limitations in the eval version that you told 
me about.  Also, just so you know, the link you gave is to a page where 
the box on the right has few working links.  If I go to the hardware 
page it has the same box and the links work ok.

I assume that when you say I can't save the object, you mean I have to 
download to the target every time I want to test the code, so it has to 
fit in the RAM.  That means I can't burn it to Flash?

These sorts of limitations may seem necessary to a company, but it can 
make it hard to evaluate a product.  I often don't have time to spend 
just evaluating a tool that doesn't contribute directly to a project. 
At this time that's not true, so maybe I'll take a few days and look at 
this.

Is there any aspect of these tools that require an Internet connection 
during use?  I've seen tools that only provide help via the Internet for 
example.  I don't have an Internet connection full time.
