OK. Me & my friends have used LSP 1.11 and are now using LSP 2.01 here at
the R.I.T. LSP 1.11 was buggy, bombed a lot, supported only IM I-III, had
some kludgy solutions, generated STUUUPIIIID code and generally was a pain
in the *ss (OK, THINK technologies, that's MY opinion. It's a free world
after all !) LSP 2.01 is much more reasonable, supports IM I-V (Yeah!
that's up to and including system 4.2 ...) doesn't bomb THAT often, has
smoother debugging (subjective) and still generates STUPID code
(i.e. a ask for a char from an odd address, the compiler fetches the
WHOLE WORD -- odd address exception !) and it also has some signed/unsigned
incompatibility with LSP 1.11, but the transition 1.11 -> 2.01 is fairly
easy. I would pay the $49. I mean, it's not more than you would spend on
a night out with your girl friend (at least here in Sweden, where every-
thing is SOOOO expensive) and that night you'll probably spend discovering
the new features in 2.01 :-)

I would go for it (I already have, as mentioned above)
