I've had my copy for the last three weeks. It's really great; the horrendous
problems which the original version had with pathnames involving
subdirectories have been completely eliminated, and the Modula desktop is a
real convenience (though it still has a couple of annoying quirks). The
documentation is *much* better, and, all in all, it's a real improvement. 

The developer's version costs about US$70 more, but it's worth it: you get
the ETHZ post-mortem debugger, and the Megamax Resource Construction Set.
This latter is a big win over the DRI one: for one thing, it works, and 
for another, it generates Modula-syntax header files. 

The only thing is that TDI still seems to have problems in the shipping
area. It arrived (via UPS second-day service) three weeks after they assured
me all back orders had been shipped. I never bothered to track it down,
so the fault might have been TDI's or UPS's.
