[comp.lang.modula2] Just got new release of Topspeed Modula-2

I just got r1.06b of TopSpeed Modula-2 in the mail.  The cover letter says
it was sent to me "in response to [my] feedback" regarding the 1.04 version.
I guess this is because of a bug report I made a while back.  There are
also a pair of coupons, for the next "major" release of M2, and for a 50%
discount on any JPI product.  I'm reasonably happy with this, considering
that I only got the standard edition of the compiler, which doesn't include
free upgrades.  I haven't tried it out yet, but a note with the disks says
that a new version of INITEXE is included, that will result in smaller EXE
files for programs that don't call any C code.  I assume this means that
static variables aren't initialized to zero in this case.
