Hi.  I've been a satisfied user of LSC for something like two years now.
I originally bought version 2.01 (and sent in my registration form), upgraded
to 2.11 and later 2.13 (a.k.a. 2.15) via patches I got off the net.  I paid the
upgrade fee for 3.0, then upgraded to 3.0p2 and just recently 3.01p4 (by the
way, what does the 'p' stand for?).  I really like being able to get these
patches off the net, and knowing that I always have the most recent version of
the compiler.  My question is, if I didn't have net access, how would I know
that I had the latest (or even somewhat close to the latest) version?  Other
than for version 3.0, I never got any notices from Think/Symantec.  If I
hadn't been aware of any interim releases, I would have gone from 2.01 directly
to 3.0, which was a hell of a jump.  Am I missing something, or are there a lot
of people out there w/ 3.0 who don't know about 3.0p2 or 3.01p4?

Just casually wondering.  -- John.
