My information comes from a set of flyers which was mailed to me by Martin Waldron of JPI. The flyers were sent to individuals who participated in the Beta testing process for TopSpeed 3.0. The reason the flyers were sent was twofold: 1. So we could spread the word about how great the TopSpeed product is. 2. So we would know just what information could be made public prior to the official release date. I will be happy to address questions regarding release 3.0 of TopSpeed which do not violate the nondisclosure agreement I signed. -- George Thiruvathukal Laboratory for Parallel Computing and Languages Illinois Institute of Technology Chicago
