Hello. A relative newcomer to the Mac world, I am looking for some advice - I hope someone will be kind enough to help. a) I purchased WingZ from a mail order place called Program Plus, and, after having verbally confirmed that I would get version 1.1, they still shipped version 1.0. Their customer service people told me that my only recourse is to call Informix and receive the upgrade. But this will cost $. (I think) So should I press the matter with Program Plus, or are they being perfectly "fair"? b) I have a SE20 running system 6.0.3, and I would like to get ResEdit for it. Is this program free? If so, where may I download it from? If not, where may I purchase it from? I was going through the tutorial on Think's C and the book "Macintosh Revealed", and they claim that I need ResEdit to get started. Thank you in advance, and I hope this is not the wrong newsgroup to post such matters. Milan mms00786@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu .

Informix is shipping version 1.1 of WingZ to all their registered users for free. We received ours a few weeks ago. Kudos to Informix!

I'm not sure what the proper course of action to take to solve your immediate problem is, but the right thing to do in the future is to only deal with a reputable firm like MacConnection. -- Roy Smith, Public Health Research Institute 455 First Avenue, New York, NY 10016 {att,philabs,cmcl2,rutgers,hombre}!phri!roy -or- roy@alanine.phri.nyu.edu "The connector is the network"

The free upgrade includes magnetic media only, the documentation cost $37. Call Informix at 1-800-331-1763 and ask for a complete upgarde if they don't give it to you for free then press the matter with Program Plus.

However, Informix told me that I would need to fill out an order sheet (included in the upgrade kit) if I want a new manual. I still haven't received the upgrade yet, unfortunately. If there is anyone in the net who has received the upgrade, would he/she tell us what the new features are? Also, for those who has upgraded the manual, is the new manual worth $30?
