Well, I don't know where the $15 or even $10 figures came from, but I got a 5.0a -> 5.0d upgrade for just $5. > Also please note that the 3 Manx disks are compressed (zoo). If you read Yeah, it's a slightly odd setup. It comes w/ zoo-2.0 and it's docs (as opposed to zoo 2.*2* on abcd, acdb or whatever the new "XANTH(ippe)" is named (;-} ) and just the files changed since 5.0 are included. Oh, btw, (sigh) I did get a corrputed zoo archive for the asm includes. Anyone else get this??? (Shutup you lattice/lettuce lovers!) Anyway, it's finally starting to "feel" like a real compiler. I've been able to compile some rather hairy UNIX/dbms code w/ nested includes and 100's of #defs & #ifdefs etc. Enjoy! There are still 2, TWO, TOO (count 'em) compilers for AMY! Apologies to Matt D., I haven't played w/ dice yet, but need 2.0 and float pt. capability.
