- ALL copies of the product shipped have been version 6.0, and will
- continue to be 6.0. We want ALL users to have the same base disk
- set. This way, any future patches can be made relative to the 6.0
- disk set, which everybody has, and there's no hassle about getting
- the correct version.

-
- Yes, it's available at the aminet sites (and probably elsewhere by
- now). It is freely redistributable.
-
- We do plan to send a mailing to all registered customers informing
- them of the existance of 6.2. We didn't do this with 6.1 because
- there was a major bug having to do with the MATH=68881 option (other
- than that, by the way, 6.1 was pretty clean.) We will probably
- be sending out the letter at the end of this month.
