- I mistyped. I meant 4.2A not 4.3A. My basis for saying this is the
- most recent version is the following two items from this mailing list:

- I did not purchase the automatic service which delivers these as they
- come out, (since I can't use any new layered products under the CSLG
- until the next renewal anyway and both notices say the disks contain
- 4.2A which I already have from the December 1991 Condist). I can only
- accept what I see in DEC's official pronouncements. Is it any wonder
- that people think the current version is 4.2A.
- Is it really 4.2C? Is there any way a person can really know without
- the CD in his own disk drive. I think this makes my point better than
- I did in my original message.
