I don't know what you were promised, but I was promised (and got) mine
in less than a week.  I've read several complaints about Axtec's
update policy here, but I have none.  When I read (also here) that
3.40a had been released, I called the toll free number, got another
number (not toll free), called it and ordered the update ( I paid the
$50 for the extra utils) and got it in 5 days.  I don't know about the
people complaining, but I'd rather they let me worry about contacting
them for updates, and spend their time working on 3.x (x > 4).  
	While I'm here, I would like to ask if anyone else who got the
third disk with the utilities on it had any trouble with the demos
included.  When I saw them I was really pleased, and the most
important one (to me) compiled fine (vt100).  But some of the others,
including the shell (2.04M ?) compiled but crashed the machine almost
immediately.  Is it my breath?  I have about as vanilla a system as you
can imagine, 512, 2 drives, no other addons.  
	Thanks for listening,
