I've been a beta tester for Lightspeed Pascal V1.1 (the first version to run on the Mac II), and had been very pleased with the quality of the beta version. To my great pleasure and surprise, out of the blue today I received a call from a gentleman at Think advising me that the "real", released version is now available (Version 1.11A) and is being made available over several networks (such as Compuserve and Delphi) as an "upgrader" utility that is applied against the original released version of Lightspeed Pascal. While I don't have the update yet, I will post it to comp.mac.binaries when I receive it. However, as there may be a several week delay (as I'm traveling), you might want to look for it on another net. In any event, I just have to say how pleased I was to actually receive a phone call indicating that the release was available. I have NEVER had such personal and thoughtful service from any microcomputer software company (I'm STILL waiting for my Word V3.01 update), and Think deserves a big WELL DONE! Disclaimer: I have no connection with Think, Inc. other than having beta tested their interim version of Lightspeed Pascal, and being a very (make that VERY) satisfied purchaser of LSP. These opinions are my own and not necessarily those of my employer.
