-
- The beta version that is shipping contains BOTH 3.5" diskettes AND
- a CD ROM. There is NO documnentation on the CD ROM. The only docs
- that come with it are a system guide and release notes.
-
- The final version is 'supposed' to have hard copy docs with it.
- Of course that can change in a heartbeat :-)
