For people who purchased version 2 of TopSpeed Modula-2, a coupon was sent
out for a free upgrade to version 3.  I believe another coupon was sent out
which gives you a discount on any of their other products.

TopSpeed is now an entire system.  The environment, compilers, TeckKit, and
libraries are separate products.  If you want a Modula-2 compiler, all you 
need to purchase is the environment and the Modula-2 compiler.  If you want to
add a language (like C++, Pascal, or C), you can purchase it separately and
plug it into the system.  The preliminary pricing information I have seen for
each item in the TopSpeed system is $99 US.  With TopSpeed 3.0 the C++ and 
Pascal compilers are "new kids on the block."
