Re: Re: Softice 3.24 may be buggy?

softice prints out its version info twice. first
when the real mode ini part is loading, second
when you type in the VER command. as it turns
out, these two version info strings are not
necessarily the same, probably the coders just
didn't bother updating the first one all the
time. so the reliable version info is the VER
output, the start up message is just f---ed up.

what it comes down to is that up to v3.22
everything works the way it's supposed to,
in v3.23 the first version info says v3.23 but
mentions support for win95 and win98 beta 1-2
only, although it supports win98 retail as well
(seems like they just didn't modify the info
string from v3.22).

in v3.24 the first version info is the same as in
v3.23 (that's why you can confuse it with v3.23)
but the VER output says (correctly) v3.24 and it
also correctly states support for win98 (not
mentioning beta thus implying retail).
