	Thanks, I was not looking forward to trying to call Ireland for
support!  What's the matter with Lifeboat? This is at least the *second*
time such a thing has happened to me with them.  The first time was when
they discontinued support for Lattice C.  Are they really screwing thier
suppliers that badly?  We users are certainly getting screwed.  By the
way, does ImageSoft support the Lattice C version of Advantage C++ or
only the Microsoft C version?   If they don't have Lattice C support
I will still have to go to Zortech.  Also, will ImageSoft honor my support
agreement with Lifeboat, or will I have to pay full retail price for an
upgrade?

	This sounds very nice, but will it work *without* Windows?  After all
not all of us have it, or have any intent of buying it.


	Sigh, I am *through* trying to deal with Lifeboat. Twice screwed is
enough.
