I got a copy of First CADD for my ST more than a year ago.  The last time
I talked to Generic Software about when I could expect an update, they
said that they are not expending very much effort on the ST version.  When
I asked why, I got an earfull about how ST users are such pirats.  This
statement they claimed was backed up by the large ratio of tech-calls to
number of products shiped.  I feel there high ratio is due to the combination
of a lousy, unsupported os and the fact that the product lacks luster, but
then what do I want for a $50.00 CAD package, right!!
