What QEMM 5.11 / DV 2.31 bugs are fixed in the latest release? I have been experiencing several problems with QEMM 5.11 and DV 2.31, the most bothersome of which is sporadic system hangs when redirecting stdout to COMx or LPTx from a shell running in a DV window. Is this supposed to be fixed in 5.11? What other bugs are fixed? And what is Quarterdeck's upgrade policy? Will they send me 5.12 free or cheaply if I have been having a problem with 5.11? (I only ask this because I have heard the stories of long queues on QOS's phone support line, and I'd rather knwo in advance what I can hope to acheive before comitting a lot of time to waiting on hold). Thanks, //richard

Otherwise, it's something like $15 or so for the upgrade. When I received a letter for upgrading QEMM and DesqView to versions 5.11 and 2.3, respectively, I sent away for it immediately and got my stuff within a month or so. Not too bad. _______ / \ | O O | Victor Limary <| < |> mimas!vcl@bbx.basis.com | _____ | \ U / "-----"

I just read a summary of what the changes for QEMM 5.12/DV 2.32 were on CompuServe. It looked like the QEMM changes affected mainly windows people and the DV update was only for some diddly QEXT thingamajobber. You may want to send mail to 76004.231@compuserve.com to find out exactly what the deal is. The upgrade price was surprisingly low: $10 plus $5 or $10 S&H (depending on where you live). You can even arrange to get it electronically; check with the above compuserve address for details. -dh
