- Contrary to Tony Hirtenstein's assertion that NB4 is not yet
- seen in the UK, the first "official release" copy here was
- in the hands of Dr Nina Collins of Leeds University on
- Friday 21 August. Most users updating ONLY NB3 received
- upgrades in the early part of the following week.
-
- Ibid.1.1 program files WILL NOT work with 4. All owners of
- Ibid. and Ibid.Plus will receive new versions that DO work
- along with the rest of their order. Similarly, SLS will not
- work with 4......
-
- The usually devastatingly accurate Dorothy was a smidgin
- out in her "flavour" count. The variations (and THIS is
- only an estimate!) come to 168 possible variations.
-
- You should be aware that
- a) A parcel can leave New York at 5.00pm EST and arrive in
- Leeds (or Nordhorn) just after noon the next day - about 14
- hours travelling time - UPS can be magnificent!
- b) Date stamping on the release files can be very
- misleading - many of the above "flavours" require slightly
- different combinations of files in the "crunched" release
- files... The date on the release file tells you only when it
- was crunched.
-
- As most of the users on this list (and indeed, most of the
- users in the UK) have more than ONLY Nota Bene there is a
- regrettable further delay. UK users will have their
- upgrades within 72 hours of the master disks arriving in
- Leeds. The version supplied is the release version - not a
- final beta - yes, there ARE some bugs still there.. yes,
- some of the features in early beta versions that I
- particularly liked have been abandoned.. hey ho! It is
- still a great program - but I would say that, wouldn't I?
