I'm sure I'm not the first one to complain about this, but here goes:

I am still encountering persons who just purchased Think C, who have
the ANSI libraries dated 1988.  Of course these had crippling bugs.
Why can't Symantec send a 15-cent postcard to all Think C users with
registered serial number < xxxxxx, warning them about this and telling
them how to upgrade?  I'm sure it would cut down on the problems new
Think C users have.

I can't see how Symantec can justify not alerting users to known bugs.
Not everyone "hears about" these things, and not everyone is confident
enough to suspect a bug when their program blows up...
