- Well, there's a disk containing the extenter in the box. You don't get any
- documentation with it (except a few .doc files on the disk), and its not at
- all integrated with the compiler. Really, its just a pitch to get you to buy
- the real (and $500+) extenter. As far as I know, TP's extender is part of the
- TP compiler, can be used seamlessly within the IDE, etc...
