-
- It includes some enhancements over 2.04, but the big thing is Locale
- support. It means that you can run your programs in, eh, English
- instead of English...
-
- It also includes CrossDOS (read/write MS-DOS disks), PostScript
- printer driver, bug-fixes... It's a poor-mans substitute for 3.0,
- since a new KickStart ROM is not needed if you already have 2.04. And
- ofcourse 3.0 isn't available yet for non-AGA machines.
