	Accoring to things that have been said here on the net and elsewhere I
believe that it will be avialable around March->April. (Rich??)

	I would whole heartedly recommened also getting TMON for there will 
definately be times when the LSC debugger will not be usable.  For example the
new LSC debugger will NOT be able to debug DA's, FKEY's, or INIT's. Therefore
you are going to need another debugger and I would say that TMON is the ONLY 
way to go.  In my time as a programmer I have used MacNosy, TMON and recently
even used The Debugger and therefore from experience can say that I don't know
where I would be without TMON.

(Disclaimer:  I am good friends with the employees at ICOM Simulations, inc.
who bring you TMON and the MacVenture series of adventure games.)
