- You won't *have* to buy 3.1, though it is a useful improvement to your
- system (if for no other reason than layers.library is *faster* in 3.1,
- so all windows, etc. react better on the screen, especially with more
- colors). Most of the software in the Surfer pack will work with OS 2.04
- and up, except for Voodoo (EMail) which requires 3.0+, because it uses
- Datatypes.
