Is there a similar break if one UPGRADED from 1.x to 2.0 after a certain
date? Frankly, I am pretty unhappy about first having paid big bucks to
get Zortech 2.0 Professional, only to find out that it was so buggy that
I ended up not using it (e.g. the fact that I couldn't have two member
functions X::f(int) and X::f(Y) with the same name and different args...).
Now they want to have another nontrivial amount (I believe $95) to
get the upgrade to 2.1. A complete Turbo C++ Professional only costs
me $139.
