I just got off the phone with microsoft windows tech support and they are mailing
me an upgrade for win 3.0 to make it win 3.0a. Adobe claims this will fix some
of the UAE problems between Designer and Word4Win. Estimated arrival time is
2 to 3 weeks. (ugh!)
He told me it is out on compuserve and genie but I don't have accounts for this.
Is there an ftp site that I can get this from?
Toodles

And NO, it will not be sent to everyone. 3.0a is a bug fix which addresses 4 specific problems related to standard mode on 286s on Novell or NetBIOS compatible networks with 1 meg of RAM. In order to get the upgrade, call MS Tech Support(206) 454-2030 and try to convince them that you need it. Either that or refuse to get off the phone until they send it. The update consists of a completely new set of Windows diskettes. The dates on all of the files have been changed but only 4-6 of the files are actually new. The Supplement Driver Library drivers are more recent than the drivers on the 3.0a disks. Changes have been made to ProgMan and FileMan to reflect the new version number. -- - Jeff (jaltman@ccmail.sunysb.edu)

Changes have been made to ProgMan and FileMan to reflect >the new version number. I had a look at Windows 3.00a (sic) recently when a new PC arrived in our department with it already installed. There is at least one more bugfix than the ones mentioned above: the really stupid bug in File Manager where floppy disk volume labels aren't updated after you swap disks (at least my Windows 3.00 didn't) is now fixed. Only Program Manager FileManager and WinVer seem to have the new 3.00a version number. Has anybody noticed the DIR datestamps on the 3.00a files: "31-10-90 3:00a" I wonder if another release before 3.1 will be called 3.00p :^). _____________________________________________________________________________ | Scott Telford, Dept of Computer Science, scott@cs.hw.ac.uk | | Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK. scott%hwcs@ukc.uucp | |_____ "Expect the unexpected."
