I have heard this reason JRT was selling a $29.95 compiler:  They were said
to be developing a better compiler and wanted to obtain a large user
base so they could sell them all this new compiler at an increased price.

Now here is the new compiler and here is the huge user base.  Unfortunately
all of these users had to wait months for the compiler.  Would you pay $100
for a compiler from such a company?  Maybe.
