These are not major improvements, these are major fixes to a poorly
written program in the first place. To charge $35.00 for these
changes is ridiculous. This should have been a free upgrade or
a minimal charge for the disks and/or new manuals.

We seem to be drifting into a mode with the Amiga of publishing brain dead software (Textcraft, WorkBench 1.1, Aztec C, Lattice C, TDI Modula II, etc.), then charging an arm and a leg for "upgrades" to what the purchaser should have gotten in the first place, working software. I would really prefer to deal with software publishers who, if they insist for marketing reasons on releasing unfinished software, at least have the good grace to provide upgrades to make the software do what it was originally advertised to do, for the cost of media. I don't own any of these except wb1.1, so sorry to any who released the upgrades for the $1.35 per disk I pay for media. Kent, the man from xanth.
