- When I first phoned IBM support (months ago, trying to install on 4Mb...)
- I was worrying about the same thing - whether I, somehow, got a BETA version.
- (You see, if I remember correctly, when you get a trap -- it's been quite
- some time since the last one -- the message says, among other things:
- "... internal revision 6.307 ...". So, naturally, one wonders)
-
- They told me to click on the desktop with the right mouse button.
- If a dotted line appears around the whole screen then you do have
- the GA version.
