- What's it worth writing to Heidelberg if they don't answer either? After getting
- from you, Doug, the advice to contact Heidelberg regarding the upgrade of my
- Lattice C compiler included in the Lattice C++ package I called them first. They
- told they would send me an upgrade offer. After 6 weeks waiting I wrote them again
- and asked for an upgrade offer. Nothing yet and it's only 4 weeks ago. In the meantime
- I was really thinking of forgetting SAS-C and switch to Maxxon C++ instead, but
- couldn't make up my mind yet.
