I just noticed a mention of ThC 4.04. I upgraded to 4.02 quite a while ago, and this is the first I've heard of 4.04. What's new? What exactly is Symantec's upgrade notice policy? And what's the most convenient method of upgrading? OK, the ? key is now broken. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- INTEL 80x86: Just say NOP -- Internet: stevep@wrq.com -- AOL: Spoole -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Actually, Symantec just released 4.0.5, but all releases larger than 4.0.2 are only for people using System 7.0 betas. If you're using 6.0.x, 4.0.2 is the current release. Later releases have only been distributed via the 7.0 beta CDs and AppleLink. -- Chuq Von Rospach >=< chuq@apple.com >=< GEnie: CHUQ >=< AppleLink: CHUQ SFWA Nebula Awards Reports Editor =+= Editor, OtherRealms Book Reviewer, Amazing Stories ---@--- #include <standard/disclaimer.h> Recommended: ORION IN THE DYING TIME Ben Bova (Tor, Aug, ***-); SACRED VISIONS Greeley&Cassutt (Tor, Aug, ****+); MEN AT WORK George Will (****); XENOCIDE Orson Scott Card (August, ****)

OK, the ? key is now broken. 4.0.4 was posted to AppleLink as a 7.0-compatible version, with caveats scribbled all over it that that was ALL it was, no improvements, etc. In the past, Think has posted dot-release updates like this to most online services and invited broad distribution to Think C licensees; I've not heard of any intended change in that policy. Think did charge for the major upgrades (3.x, 4.x), but given that the upgrade was a completely new package in each case -- new manuals, everything, in fact, except the wrapping sleeve -- I've felt the ~$60 upgrade fees were reasonable. I'd expect 4.0.4 (or something like it) to become freely available when 7.0 goes final. There are definitely a set of 7.0 headers, but those are on the 7.0b4 and 7.0f2 CDs -- i.e. still under nondisclosure. But 5/13 is comin' real soon... =Ned Horvath= ehorvath@attmail.com
