The problem was that when you got 7.0b4, you didn't get the version
of THINK C that worked with it. When Apple seeded 7.0b4 to developers,
we also sent out THINK C and Pascal updates packages. If you've seen
references on this net to THINK C 4.0.3, 4.0.4, and 4.0.5, that's what
those are.

In all respects, I think that 7.0 is going to be just fine. The only
problems I've had are programs that don't run in 32-bit mode, but that's
it. There's nothing 7.0 can do to fix that...
