- Since I am presuming that everyone is installing basically the
- same 5.0 release, the only thing that comes to mind, re: the cause
- of these woes is differences in the OS. A Question to those who
- are suffering: have you a "clean" install of the OS, or is it
- an upgraded version, version that was installed "over" a beta
- of W95, or a patched version? Are your machines using MS-provided
- installs, or vendor-provided installs of the OS?

- There once was a time when this was a standard industry practice.
- I'm happy Borland is reinventing the practice as well. It tasks
- them with quality and support, rather than quality of hype - a thing
- I've seen too much of lately, in all quarters.
