Standard upgrade cost has been set at $75. However, actual cost may vary, so you should call upgrades to check on your status. You can get one when we get the doc back from our printer. As soon as this happens, I'll let you know. What you get is a brand-new compiler. Features include full ANSI compatibility (more so than L****** currently has), greatly improved code generation over 3.6a, optional generation of in-line workbench calls, ability to easily create resident libraries, lotsa new compiler options, and a 25% decrease in compile times over 3.6a. (this is NOT an exhaustive list). I believe we are taking orders at this time for the upgrade. However, you'll have to call our update dept. for details. There were a number of reasons why 5.0 has been late. Among them: the desire to have as many features as possible, problems w/ documentation (as mentioned above), and Jim Goodnow's recent wedding threw off the development process somewhat (Dorothy wouldn't allow Jim to bring his Amiga on the honeymoon, as I understand it). In addition, we're committed to bringing out a product that is as rock-solid as possible, and we have slipped several dates in order to fix problems in the beta versions. BTW, our the number of our update dept. is (201)389-0290. Manx can also be reached by fax @ (201)542-8386. -Mike
