Hi Rick,
A fully-operational 2-week eval copy is at http://OmnipotenceSoftware.com.

Here's the lowdown on upgrading:
1) The "new" version of ECS (now some 3 years old) is a total redesign of 
the old.
    This 2nd-generation "Object-Oriented" design is *much* more powerful, 
clean, and easier to work with.

2) There is no way to automatically convert the old cfgs for the new version.
    But I *can* convert most of your old Items to Objects if you send your cfg.
    You would still need to write the Scripts (formerly "Events").
     Scripting is a lot easier, but it *is* different (you'll just have to 
unlearn some stuff :-)).
     When I converted my Events to Scripts, the line count was cut in half.

3) Sorry, but I no longer offer a discount for ECS-Legacy upgrades.
     But I will assist as needed with any questions or problems (of which 
there will be many :-)).
     The "Complete" version is $340 and the "Lite" version 
(X10/sound/speech) is $90.
     The download is fully operational for 2 weeks.

I suggest that you play around with it for a while, so as to make sure that 
it's worth it to you.
And send questions as you do so (or better yet, call me at 423-745-0026).
