[comp.sys.apple] AExpress => prodos update policy

Does anyone know if there is a way to turn in my Dos version of AE Pro,
pay some money (less than the cost of a new one) and get the ProDos
version?

Yes, there is an update plan for AE Pro DOS 3.3 to ProDOS.  You didn't
include your serial number, but here is the breakdown.  If you have
a serial number less than 50000, send in your original master diskette
and $54.50 for a complete package, including disk and manual.  If your
serial number is greater than 50000, send in your original master
disk and $30.00 for a replacement disk and manual addendum.  If you
need any further details, you can contact USII:

Even if the ProDos vers of AE PRO can be turned in for a credit, I would 
suggest keeping it!
I have found that when running a Pro Dos AE, and transfering files from
a dos3.3 vers, there are hassles in examining and writing the file type
to disk. Txt files end up binary and other problems. There is a way
to convert these to the right type, alas I disremember. In short, stay
compatible with all and unless someone posts an easy fix for this problem,
keep them both.
