I called Manx today (11/28) and inquired about the update to Manx Aztec C.
Folks, I must say that I am a bit disappointed, though I have not seen the
package.  I bought Manx when I was it was version 3.4, and I liked it.  I
never got a update to v3.6a.   Anyway, the fine folks on the phone said 
that v5.0 is a $75 upgrade.  Its main difference is that it is ANSI
compatible, there is no Integrated C Environment in this version.
 
She further said that all upgrades from this point on would be a flat
$75.  I assume that this not bug fixe upgrades.  
 
Further, when I went into the mode, "Ok I want to order it"  I was asked
what my registration number.  I looked around my office here at work, and
I did not have it.  (I should have guessed they would have asked me this).
I asked if they had a name lookup, the answer was no.  They said that they
could take my zip code and look it up that way, but alas, I do not remember
where I lived when I bought the thing.  Funny, I did not get treated this
way by Word Perfect.
 
Anyway, I will call back and I guess I will get this update.  I am truly
leaning toward Lattice now, I want a integrated environment.
