There was an article in one of the computer weeklies about Apple preparing to release a system 6.0.3. Not much description about what is new in this release - I remember some comments about 24-bit color quickdraw extensions. I was just getting ready to organize a system update for my department from 5.0 to 6.0.2. We do not have anyone using high-end desktop publishing programs that would need 24-bit color. Is there any other reason why we would want to wait for 6.0.3 rather than going to 6.0.2 now? If so, is there any estimate of when 6.0.3 will be out? -- Julian Vrieslander "Don't rush me... you'll get a rotten miracle."

Major bugs in 6.0.2 have not yet surfaced so I would say: Go for it! Ira Rampil Department of Anesthesia #include StdDisclaimer.h
