	 Have you sent in the form that came with 1.2 to get your upgrade?  I sent
mine in about 2 months ago and had 1.5 within  two weeks!
	 What bugs?  I never used 1.2 too extensively, but I never noticed any major
bugs in it... certainly it has limitations in certain areas; everything does;
but I've found it (esp. v 1.5) to be very powerful (although I'm not really
doing multimedia work with it... creating utilities, mostly).

     According to the Summer AC's guide, it's published by Impulse & programmed
by Intuitive Tech... i.e. the UltraCard people.  UltraCard was trash and I. Tech
has a rather poor reputation, so I wouldn't go rushing out to buy Foundation
right away.  Of course, if Impulse is publishing it, it might be decent after
all.
	 I won't rewrite the entire entry from the Guide, but Impulse's address is:
	 Impulse, Inc.
     6870 Shingle Creek Parkway #112
	 Minneapolis, MN 55430
     (612)566-0221

	 Foundation lists for $250.
