I'm not sure what a bickie is, but I think you've captured
the essence of the situation.  

I know it's kind of annoying when you purchase some software
and then a new version comes out right away. I bought
WATCOM C 10.6 and then 11.0 came out 3 months later
at the same price, but they wanted $200 for an upgrade.

At least as a registered user you will get a $15 U.S. discount
on all future releases of Euphoria. We could increase the
discount, but PsL grabs $5 plus 4% from all orders. That
leaves RDS with less than $12 on a $17 Single-Platform
upgrade to DOS32.

I'd prefer to charge a bit more and then guarantee
free upgrades for a year or so, but I think it's a bit
dishonest to charge now for things that are supposed
to be delivered that far in the future.

In the past there has always been an 'a' level release
within a couple of months of a major release, e.g.
1.5a after 1.5. These are always free upgrades for
registered users.
