I've ordered two copies of Microphone II in the past few months: one for my home machine through the Step-Up offer, and one to go with my brand new IIci at work. The one at home, received at the end of September, is version 3.0. The one I got at work this week is version 3.01, with a creation date of early September. I've looked on the new disks for something detailing the difference between the two, but can't find anything. Anyone here know?

Leonard? > -- First let me explain 3.01 - this is what we are calling a 'maintenance' upgrade'. It fixes a couple of bugs, but adds no new features. We released it as some users found some stuff which we felt was serious enough to call for an 'upgrade'. Due it its 'limited' usefulness, we have chosen to make make a public distribution out of it, but if you call our tech support line with one of the fixed problems, we will send you the upgrade free of charge. As to how you got both versions, you probably just hit at the right time, when we were switching production over to 3.01 on the masters. Again, 3.0.1 is bug fixes, and if you might as well use it if you have it!! Leonard Rosenthol -- Leonard Rosenthol Software Ventures Corp. MicroPhone II Development Team

Leonard, Does 3.0.1 fix: (1) The crash I often have running MicroEditor or miniWriter on top of MPII; (2) The zmodem incompatibilities with SmartCom. If so, I need it! Thanks. -r

No. I doubt it fixes any problems with miniWriter. However, we'll look at it if you can describe what the problem is. MicroEditor is old, and doesn't get too much attention anymore. All I can say is that it works for us when we test it, but I wouldn't be suprised if it has problems. I doubt our beta testers banged on it too much, simply because there are much better text editing DA's, and I'm sure they use them over miniWriter and MicroEditor. As for ZMODEM, if you can describe the problem, we'll look into that as well. We have the latest version of Smartcom here, and we don't see any problems between us and them. -Dave Newman -Software Ventures -MicroPhone II Development -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Newman - Sofware Ventures | daven@svc.portal.com | AppleLink: D0025 Berkeley, CA (415) 644-3232 | AOL: MicroPhone | CIS: 76004,2161 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
