     Zortech's corrected release V2.1R1 reached me today.  It can be
distinguished by a date of 5/20/91 on the document "Installation";
disk markings are identical to the previous defective version.

     The MPW libraries missing from the original release have now been
supplied.  (Confusingly, they're on the compiler disks, not the MPW disks.)
The C++ libraries seem to be comparable to Apple's, although "iostream.h"
is missing from the Zortech release.

     At least the following parts of MPW are still missing:

	- The Installer
	- Cmarker
	- Projector
	- MacsBug
	- SADE
	- ResEdit

     The compiler seems to be in good shape (although I have one program
that crashes the compiler with an assertion failure).  All other correct
programs compiled and ran properly; the only changes required were
where Zortech detected some error Apple's CFRONT didn't.

     This may be a good product once they get their act together.  But
I'd wait a few weeks before ordering.
