[comp.sys.mac] Upgrade info on VersaTerm, MacRecorder, and Falcon

moriarty@tc.fluke.COM (Jeff Meyer) (06/02/89)

Did a little phoning around this morning on software updates, and thought
I'd pass it along:

a)  VERSATERM 4.0.  The manuals have started to arrive; they are shipping
    the new versions to their distributers.  People awaiting updates will
    probably have to wait two to three weeks before they mail out updates.

b)  MACRECORDER 2.0.  (New software, not hardware).  The update will be
    released in about three weeks; upgrade info went out Tuesday this week
    for registered owners.

c)  FALCON for the Mac SE/X.  They don't have a fix yet, but if you're a
    registered owner, you can call them and leave your name, address and
    serial numbers on a waiting list, and Spectrum Holobyte will write you
    when they have a fix.  (Seems pretty fair to me.)

Couldn't reach Dantz, though -- anyone have info on when Retrospect will be
released...

The final beta has been released (at least, the final official beta. If
someone finds major problems -- which I haven't -- then they may cut another
version) and the invitation to the "come celebrate the product ship" party
showed up. So I'm pretty sure it's close.

Nice product. I have no idea how I lived without it as long sa I did. It's
not a 'sexy' product, but it is so bloody useful... (that puts it in the
category of Suitcase II and Capture and DiskFit and Disktop and Quickeys).
