- Subject: S.1) Microsoft Windows 3.1 Thai Edition
-
- From: PANU@vm.acs.unt.edu (Panu Sittiwong)
- Date: Wed, 19 Jan 94 12:32:26 CST
-
- Since my previous post on Windows 3.1 Thai Edition, I have received
- several info. about the product. So I decide to post it in SCT to
- everyone. Here is the info.
-
- Windows 3.1 Thai Edition
- The Valuesoft Vision Co. Ltd.
- 15th Floor, Central Chidlom Tower
- 22 Soi Somkid, Ploenchit Rd.
- Bangkok 10330
-
- Tel. 66-2-254-7088
- Fax. 66-2-256-0310
-
- I don't know that you can get it in the U.S. I got my copy in
- Bangkok by trading in my English version of Windows 3.1. The
- upgrade price is 1250 Bath plus 7% VAT. You will need to bring
- all the diskettes of the English version for the upgrade. The
- software comes in 8 diskettes and a Thai manual. I have been using
- it since last August without any problem and the Thai characters
- look real nice.
-
- From: Randall Jones (rjones@igc.apc.org)
- Date: 24 Jan 94 12:24 PST
-
- I've just ordered the Thai version of Windows 3.1. I ordered the full
- package, not the upgrade. It cost $190.00. (I haven't received it yet
- but I'm looking forward to trying it out.)
-
- I ordered from THE IDEA in California (Los Angeles, I think). Their
- phone number is (213) 628-2801. This was the only vendor MicroSoft
- Help could suggest for the Thai Windows in the U.S.
