- Just because OPUS 4 is not beoing sold anymore doesn't mean it should be
- Pirated! Just because People got OPUS 4 on a Mag Cover Disk doesn't mean it's a
- FULL Version! You got what you payed for, the Price of the MAG. Doesn't
- Includes the Manual, and it surly can't be POSTED on AmiNet for everyone to
- download. DO you get nice Manuals for other Programs you get on CoverDisks?
- I never did, and I got some GOOD programs, The Athors of the software usually
- will let the Mags Post a Old version of there software, so people can try it
- out, and then acually BUY the latest Copy!
- Your Opus Manual is whatever they give you in the Mag, that's it!
-

- a Manual, that's not really the case with OPUS 5.
