- Well, the CSD will have bug fixes in it. They should be free. But
- it also has a lot of other things that will improve functionality and
- performance. I think this is what Mr. Withers was refering to.
-
- I.E. Win 3.1 support (you get sound stuff, ole with windows, etc.)
- Super VGA drivers
- A faster 32 bit graphics engine
- Ability to run rather comfortably in 4 megs (claimed)
-
- Despite all this, I think the entire CSD will be free anyway. But I
- understand where Mr. Withers is coming from.
