- The only problem with this is the price - they US version is $199 - I paid
- much less than this for the entire PH 1.5 distribution. Something seems
- strange about having to buy a $199 C compiler in order to upgrade from 1.5 to
- the most recent version of 1.6 - if this is the case, then the 1.6 upgrade
- should also be available as pre-compiled binaries/libraries/boot_disk.
