Summary: Short note on 2.13 upgrade

I just picked up the upgrade to 2.13 for LightspeedC off of CompuServe last
night and thought I pass on some comments.  

It includes a 2.01/2.11 => 2.13 patch program, a new MacTraps project, a
new Appletalk project and a new set of includes.  You run the patch program
against a copy of your 2.01 or 2.11 LightspeedC, install you new MacTraps and
the .h files and your now at 2.13.

Changes: MacTraps grew about 30K.  Reason is that 2.13 has a smarter linker
then 2.11 which will remove more of the unused stuff when you build an
application.  You pay for this, loading MacTraps takes 3 to 4 times as long
and building an application also takes about 3 times (subjective numbers,
no real numbers to back it up).  With just the new MacTraps, 2.13 removed
about 2K from a 96K application.  Unfortunatly, this is bad for me because
what I'm working on now requires that I make an application rather then
just run it under LightspeedC.  (Note to Rich: I WANT MY FAST LINK BACK :-)).

The includes now integrate all the IM V stuff into the main includes.  There
are several new include files, including color.h, etc.  Didn't check too closly
to see how much they grew.  These replace both the original 2.01 and the x*.h
from 2.11.

PrLink.lib is now in MacTraps as is some of the AppleTalk stuff.  

The upgrade was 130K in length (in StuffIt), 150K in Packit.  Rich said he
sent it to comp.mac.binaries so please don't send me email asking for the
upgrade.
