	Actually, as far as I can tell from talking with the designers on 
BIX and examining the demo disk, it is an upgrade for two reasons: 1) they
are offering it cheap to old TDI owners, and 2) they are probably using
TDI's AmigaDOS distribution liscense.  The editor, compiler, and linker are
all totally rewriten, Amiga-fied, and bug free (I have not found a way to
crash the demo which is unusual for me).  If you got a demo disk with the
upgrade atleast take a look at it - it really is a new product.  If not,
I think that I can send you the zoo'ed demo.

DISCLAIMER: I do not work for M2S.  In fact, I am an owner of ITC's M2Amiga
	who is thinking about switching if M2Amiga's update (RSN) doesn't
	match M2S.  Any spelling errors I blamed on society for making me too
	lazy to hunt for my dictionary :-).
