- I'm guessing, the "V" is a "Vee" as in the letter, not what follows
- "IV". Anyway R2 has been around a long time, (R as in revision)
- R3 is the latest release, which is the WGJL rewrite, I guess.

- Well yes that's what he said, and he provided a "workaround"
- within Executive to deal with it. There are several "old" programs
- that are useful but have set traps on future programs. The thing
- to do is to phase out your collections of unsupported misbehaving
- software. Not to rag on one of the few professional
- packages for the amiga.
