[comp.sys.atari.st] LDW Power upgrades?

kllove@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu (Kenneth L Love) (03/01/91)

Okay, first off, I see that LDW has now released version 2.0.  Does anybody
know LDW's upgrade policy?  I guess I should send in my registration card
sometime in the next few days and maybe they'll notify me?

In case your wondering, the macro features have been upgraded to include
stuff like if-then, for-next, etc.  I think the speed has also been improved
a little.  Oh yeah, you are supposed to be able to do a LOT more types of
graphs.  I only saw it for a few minutes but some (all?) of its new features
were included in the on-line help (Is this a new feature too?  I never use
the help on v1.1, but that doesn't mean it isn't there.).

Hope this gets a response,
Kenneth Love

Nah, I've sent my registration in and upgraded once already, they apparently 
don't mail out upgrade notices, or if they do, I don't get 'em!

I think I saw on GEnie that the upgrade is $49.95. I also saw some complaints
about bugs in the new graphics stuff (of the irritating type) which dampens 
my enthusiasm for spending that kind of dough on an upgrade. I think I'll 
wait a bit and see how things shake out.
