     I can understand your being upset. Lattice mailed an update from 5.02
  to 5.04 for FREE. And I didn't even know there was one till it showed up
  in the mail. (i.e I didn't have to ask for it!)

     On top of that, I think Lattice has passed Manx in terms of features.

     I guess we'll just have to wait and see how long it takes for
     Manx to figure it out. ;-)
