- Well... they lost some developers when Symantec bought them and they haven't
- been able to get an update out (except for some bug fixes) since July of '91.
- They are about to ship 3.1 which will have some improvements in the compiler.
- But still no 32-bit debugger -- that must come from FlashTek and that also
- requires an update to the 32-bit DOS extender. List price for that
- combination is $500.00, Symantec is shipping a coupon in the box which will
- get you the combination for $300.00. And if you purchase Flash Graphics
- from FlashTek at the same time you can get the bundle of all three for the
- price of $400.00. Flash Graphics hasn't been updated for over a year and
- some customers are telling me that Symantec isn't even making any effort to
- fix the bugs (most are rather obscure).
