A colleague has the flyer too: at $149 for a validated (ACVC1.11) compiler, implied Borland-like integrated development environment, LRM online, etc. it sounds too good to be true... Has anyone actually seen one? (Or is it vapourware?) Can anyone summarise the PC Week review mentioned on the flyer? Are there any performance figures available? (none given on the flyer) Any restrictions omitted from the flyer (eg. maximum program size)? [NB. The $149 is an *introductory* price - $495 is the regular price]
