The current Windows version is V1.3 (August, 1994). This is the first production release.
You may not get support from either NCSA or the author of this Windows version. If you have problems or questions, it is strongly recommended that you post them to the comp.infosystems.www newsgroup. You are most likely to get help there. The authors monitor this newsgroup as well. For more information on this release read these Release Notes.
