well, i'm sure if you call byteworks they will send you a copy. what i meant
to say (and i did not word myself correctly), is that people that sent in
bug fixes will automatically get updates, just because they found bugs. now,
for those of you who never found bugs, i suppose mike will do one of two
things:
	a. send every registered user of orca/c a letter saying v1.2 or 
	   whatever is complete and it is available for x dollars (usual
	   price for updates from orca is $10).
	or
	b. send the update FREE to every registered user.

of course, because v1.1 was sent free to all registered users, i suppose
he will opt for option a.

anyway, at least the time is approaching, which many of us have been long
hoping for.
