Here is the 2.46 beta version of MMR. It is for 2.xx beta testers only.
However, you are welcome to join the beta test - just pick up the echo
E02/355 so you can be kept informed.
New users are recommended to use 2.00 for a while. This is the official
release version, and the only version that is fully documented (see
MMRDOC-2.ZIP and MMR-TOUR.ZIP).
Changes since 2.0 are described in the MMR-xxx.REV file. I have abridged
the earlier entries, so if you want these, KEEP the MMR-233.REV !
Also, *keep* your MMR 2.00 exe files for the moment in case any problems
occur. The only problem you will find if you execute 2.00 is that the
spell check configuration will need to be re-entered if you later return
to a beta copy.

via the same route.
CRCs
----
You do *not* need a special CRC to run the beta test version :
a) If you registered MMR 2.00, then your 2.00 CRC will also enable the
registered facilities of this beta version.
Note: The old 1.xx beta CRCs are not useful with this version.
b) If you did not register MMR 2.00, then your beta copy will function
as an unregistered copy, ie the basic facilities will operate but
the registered user facilities will not.
MMR 2.00 is the only version which is presently registerable, but if you
should decide to register 2.00 at this stage, your registration will
continue to be valid for MMR 2.50, which will include all the
features (if they work) from the current beta test.
Compatibility
-------------
MM_PRINT 2.30 or later is recommended, though you can continue to use
MM_PRINT 2.00 if you are not using the new & or D parameters and you do not
need any of the other facilities since introduced.
MM_PTCNV 2.40 is required if you wish to use the pointer functions with GT
1706.
All of the above will be replaced in due course since they do *not* support
the QWK features of the current GT beta. They remain usable if you have a
non-QWK copy of gtmdir.bbs in the MM subdirectory of your GTPATH.
This release remains compatible with EXPURG8 and the other auxiliaries
issued with MMR-200.ZIP.
The document MMRDOC-2.ZIP remains the latest document, but should be
read in conjunction with MMR-xxx.REV enclosed.
