I just found out from OXXI, my publisher, that OXXI will now charge a small
fee for A-Talk III upgades.  This is quoted from their latest OXXI Update 
newsletter:

"A-Talk III Updates

Those who have release 1.0, or 1.0c of A-Talk III can obtain the latest disk
by sending in their original disk to be copied for a $5 charge.  If they 
choose not to send in the disk, the charge for the latest disk is $8.  This
is to cover the cost of duplication of the disk, handling and shipping."

OXXI was indeed sending out updates for free. Unfortunately I updated the
software 4 times in 3 months, and they just can't afford the extra expense.
Sorry about that :-)
