  Nope. It'll always be "LightspeedC", regardless of what the box says. :-)

  Is there any truth to the rumor that Crosfield is dropping "Lightspeed"
from the name of the next version of its color layout software? Wasn't this
the reason for the "THINK C" name in the first place? (Oddly enough,
Lightspeed (the color layout program) is compiled with Lightspeed (the
C compiler). For that matter, Lightspeed (the C compiler) is compiled
with itself!) Seems like *someone* ought to keep the Lightspeed name; it
must have some amount of name recognition/marketing value by now!
