- Missionware Software is pleased to announce the release of version
- 2.2 of Flash II. This is our third update this year. Flash II
- originally went up for sale in April of 1992. Version 2.2 fixes a
- number of problems discovered by our customers and beta testers over
- the past few months. We've added a number of enhancements as well,
- and now the program is fully Falcon030 compatible! It's our second
- full upgrade. If you already own a version of Flash II just download
- the file F22UPG.LZH and use it to patch your current version.

- completely rewritten by Paul Nicholls of Clayfield, Australia. But
- don't let that fool you! Flash II has the same look and feel as
- previous versions of Flash...plus a slew of new features to boot! And
