- Alright le'me see if I got this right:
-
- A bit of his-to-ry ...
-
- First was GA : General Availabilty. (I'm ignoring pre-GA stuff ...
- it's dynosaure's stuff)
-
- Then came the SP: service pack a.k.a CSD, the famous 14 diskettes.
-
- [Start of confusion] PLEASE CORRECT ONLY IF SURE !
-
- The SP= bug fixes + 32-bit BETA UNI-THREADED WP + new bugs. It is NOT
- the BETA version of 2.1. The BETA version is circulating in closed
- areas amongst a number of people for testing. WP although 32-bit is
- slower than GA.
-
- Somewhere down the road there will come 2.1
-
- 2.1=bug fixes + 32-bit no-beta MULTI-WP + windows 3.1 + multi-media
- stuff - new bugs :).
-
- It is a complete replacement (you get all diskettes) for 2.0.
-
- WP is supposed to be FASTER on two accounts: it will not be a beta
- version, it will be multi-threade.
-
- [End of Confusion]
-
- What did I get right ? What did I get wrong ? Fill us in ...
-
- naji.
-
- ... and I thought DOS would end the confusion of CP/M ...
