   Add to this list TDI. Whatever you may think of their Modula product, they 
were pretty good with the updates. I got two from them completely unsolicited.

Really?  Update cards or updates?  I paid for one update that turned out to
have a few bug fixes, but mostly 'bug moves', the kind where a whole new set of
bugs was there to replace the first set. I was not happy, and when 3.0 came
out, I decided to take a wait-and-see attitude, and as it turns out, I was
glad I did. We shall see how M2S does, now that they are taking over. It can't
be worse.
