-
- A corrected archive and documentation are on Hobbes and have been since
- December 9th. The Tri32new.exe file contains updated documentation and a
- re-packaged archive.
-
- I have deleted the original - which I had nothing to do with.
-
- The doucmentation alone can be obtained by ftping the file Tri32new.txt.
-
- These files are still not as nice as they could be....but I was home sick that
- day and had only limited time to re-package it.
-
- Most people seem to have little difficulty getting the updated version to work
- - provided they read the documentation before they start installing the
- drivers.
