Whew!  I'd be pissed off, too.  What REALLY would hurt is that you can buy
Vantage, the commercial version of McSink which is a superset of McSink
capabilities (and some very nice documentation) for $55 + $3 Overnight P&H
from several of the mail order stores.

Speaking for myself, I've never had problems with Preferred Publishers,
until recently.  I bought McSink as a shareware product some years ago, was
notified of a $25 (I think) upgrade to Vantage when it came out, and was
very pleased with the new product and its documentation.  When the upgrade
notice for the new version of Vantage arrived after Christmas, I sent off
for it, and then waited a month.  Finally phoned, and talked to some poor
woman who was overloaded with upgrade orders.  She said she'd make sure mine
went out the next day, and sure enough, it arrived a couple of days later.
