I agree with you re the quality of Rich's support; however, you should be made aware that LSP is NOT MultiFinder compatible either. It suffers a severe crash if you try to use it in that environment. Having dealt with both companies, I tend to prefer Think's upgrade policy with regard to maintenance releases, but I don't know what impact their acquisition by Symantec will make to these policies. When I asked the folks at Borland about the MF incompatibility, I got the response that they were working on it (the same answer I got from the authors of LSP). Under MF, I cannot see any reason to use LSP over Turbo since its major (indeed only) advantage is the source-level debugging and that is gone. If you're always going to be creating a disk file and running from there, I think Turbo comes out way ahead because you don't need to deal with that (expletive-deleted) editor in LSP.
