I went out and bought the 2.15 compiler for my Mac... not for work, just to play around with. Now that my copy is 4 weeks old, I have to spend another $60 for an upgrade to fix the problems with the doc and code I just got? Even Microsoft has a policy on helping new owners get FREE upgrades (manuals and all) if you've bought an outdated version of their product in the last 6 months or so. I think THINK has a LONG way to go before it's successful in the mass-appeal market if they think 'only $69' is good enough for their customers. Guess I'll save my $69 and see what Borland must have up their sleeve soon. mbk
