I received my free WingZ 1.1 media upgrade in the mail today. This upgrade was unsolicited. The upgrade included 3 disks and an order form for the documentation which cost $37 total. If you're a registered user you should also receive this upgrade.

I have an educational version of Wingz 1.0. Back in November, when the upgrade to 1.1 was announced, I called Informix about the upgrade. They told me that I would receive the upgrade within two weeks. Well, this is middle of January -- little longer than two weeks as they promised. So has anyone who has educational edition of Wingz 1.0 get upgrade to 1.1 yet? Or Am I the only one who still uses 1.0? Thanks, Chang -- -- Chang P.

Or am I the only one who still uses 1.0? Don't feel like the Lone Ranger; ALL of us educational-edition types are waiting for the 1.1 upgrade yet, as far as I know. According to Mad Mac News (our users' group newsletter), Informix told Jean Mickelson (one of our members who phoned them) that since the "end-user" version was released two months before the educational version, the end-users' upgrade disks would be shipped first, too. Informix said the educational upgrades would be shipped "first quarter of 1990...perhaps the first month." I guess we'll just have to be patient. I don't think they've forgotten us, at least.

They told me that they didn't know when the educational upgrade was going to ship, but they could mail me the domestic version. I asked them to kindly mail me the domestic version. BTW, I didn't ask them what the difference was between the ed. and domestic versions. Also, I do know of one user at another site from mine who received his "educational" upgrade over a month ago. Maybe someone else can make sense of all of this ********************************************* Scott D.

Well, I just called Informix to find about it. I told them that I own an educational version, and they told me that while educational version 1.1 is unavailable, they would ship the regular version to me. I have nothing against that! After all, only thing that educational version differs from the regular version is the startup script, which I can modify it at will. So, if you own Wingz educational edition, call Informix to place an order for version 1.1. Chang -- Chang P.

Don't know about Informix (hi, Mike!), but we have to put a different copyright notice in our ed. versions. Doesn't sound like much, I know, (and it's not a big deal for development, of course), but it makes it one more different version of the product that has to be tested, certified, produced, and shipped... hence the delay.
