In a recent article John Draper mentions Aztec release 3.30 for the Amiga.
Having paided the extra 200 dollars for the commercial version, I was
rather shocked to hear of this new release on USENET. I have not received
anything from Manx. Was John speaking of a beta release? Should I call
and bug Manx. I hate calling and sounding foolish if it is not an official
release yet. Does anyone know the real scoop? Why would Manx release the
upgrade now with 1.2 still in beta testing? Seems to me it would be wiser
to wait until 1.2's final release, so as to fully conform.

Manx says it won't be released until 'the fall' whatever that means - but it will be worth waiting for, I assure you, so hang in there. Paul.
