Of course this could be good for REAL if they did what Borland did

They knew folks were stealing the software but it was really
useless without the manuals and language references
So people would buy it just to get the manuals
REAL would be smart to take advantage of this and make it so the
old versions that can be hacked have no LR in them so that it's not
as useful without manuals and the LR
Hmm. REALbasic; Windows; Hackers. The latter two go hand in hand. I
guess Mac people are more used to being honest.
Besides, Win32 users were given free versions of 5.5.5 only a few
years ago. Some publications in the UK were offering free versions of
5.? as well at the same time.
Actually, 5.5.4 isn't all that different than 5.5.5 and will work
fine on OS X 10.4.x. There were probably a few fixes but they may not
affect Tony at all.
I believe the cost of the upgrade CD from REAL isn't all that much.
It's mostly the hassle of doing it.
