Are you sure you have the latest version? Maybe there is a workaround? But you'll never know unless you call up. What should Commodore have done, made an announcement 3 months in advance that they'd be having a discount program now? I don't think IBM gave any of their customers notice when they just lowered their prices. Same with everyone else. You can go to your dealer and get 2.03 for free, which has a few fewer bugs than 2.02. Though 2.02 is very solid and most problems are the program's faults. And when 2.0 does finally come out in ROM, be rest assured you'll get a free upgrade. -- Ethan "Brain! Brain! What is Brain?"
