- OK, I've gotta ask: NewTek made a big deal about the Flyer only working
- under 2.04 on A2000/3000 systems, and 3.0 on A4000s. They specifically
- said NOT to get 3.1 (so, of course, I ran out and got it). I haven't had
- any problems with LW 3.5, 4.00k or the Flyer (except for the beta bugs).
- Based on that, I'd assume NewTek had a few older OS machines lying around
- to run the compiler on. Strange...

- That's good, especially since I've heard that 2 more C compilers -- the
- Maxon C and StormC compilers -- are in the late stages in Europe (info
- from Amiga Report 3.20). They're both brand new.
-
- Hopefully NewTek will fix tihs before it's too late...
