products...

	As far as I know, MacApp doesn't exist for use with C++, and 
it will be a while before there is a class library from Apple that
works with C++. The THINK Class Library is just as robust as MacApp
is, but has the advantages of being much easier to learn, and it
also incurs less code overhead in an application. We're hoping that
it will become the de facto standard for C class libraries, just
as THINK C is the de facto standard for C compilers.

	Since you didn't register, you won't get the letter, but you can still
pay the upgrade fee and get the upgrade.
