I was just wondering the same thing, so I called Central Point Software. I was told that the version of PCTools 7.0 in the store now was shipped with out some additional support for MS-DOS 5.0. This support has been added, and will go out to all those upgrading first. Supposedly, my copy is "Being shipped right now!" I hope so, I ordered it in the middle of May.

The July issue of PC World gives a very favorable review of DOS 5 and PCTools V7. I haven't tried either one of them, so I really can't verify the review. Now that both programs are out in stores, just *when* is central point is going to ship the upgrades to those customers who ordered the upgrade? I remember when I ordered Prodigy and it took a full 8 1/2 weeks to arrive. And was it worth it? I used it once, and quit. Thank god it was a free offer.. -- Robert W.

I purchased PCTools V7 last night. I spent 2 hrs last night and
another 2 this morning putting it on. It took about 4 meg (or so) and
I didn't install all of it. It's pretty impressive that it comes with
soo much. I upgraded from nortons 4.51 and it's quite a change.

I received my copy of PCTools 7 yesterday, so they are shipping them: however I ordered mine about 2 months before it was due to be released. I talked to them a bit ago and the person I talked to indicated that they had a lot more orders than expected, but were shipping them in the order they had received the orders as fast as possible. Most likely the stores had their orders in before you. -- Flint Pellett, Global Information Systems Technology, Inc. 1800 Woodfield Drive, Savoy, IL 61874 (217) 352-1165 uunet!gistdev!flint or flint@gistdev.gist.com

I wish I knew...we ordered the update at work as soon as we got the notice and have yet to receive version 7. :( _____________________________________________________________________________ | | | "NUKE THE UNBORN GAY WHALES!" | Jeff Miller | | - graffiti | millerje@handel.CS.ColoState.Edu | |_____________________________________________________________________________|
