- NeWSprint 2.0 REQUIRES OpenWindows 3.0 in order to work correctly. If you did
- not load the mini OpenWindows from the NeWSprint CD, do it right after reading
- this message.
-
- Even if you are using OW 3.0, use the mini version on the NeWSprint CD, as it
- contains fixes that NeWSprint needs.
-
- Our NeWSprint 2.0 Beta and mini OW 3.0 work just fine (yes, I know, time to
- update. I will be doing that soon).
