Understood completely, and I stand by my $20.  But one other person
posted that he was still using 1.5x because of problems with 1.9x. 
We'll look pretty funny if we tell Southsoft, "just send us your
current release candidate", and then discover we can't use it for
some reason.  To then tell Southsoft, "well we do need this
showstopper bug fixed" is going to be problematic either way.

But I'll try it (and it's tax-deductible for me, as a business
expense!).
