- In an effort to consolidate this list, I have attempted to recreate the
- above listed errors. I have encountered NONE but three of the above list.
-
- My confirmed list:
-
- 1) System Clock still has font trouble.
-
- 2) Drive A Object produces strange effects when you 'Create Another' folder
- and supply a new name for the folder to be added to A:
-
- 3) Extra two templates in Templates folder
-
- Note: I could not verify all of the Non-Shell errors list because I do
- not have all of the programs listed.
-
- I concur that the SP works faster and smoother.
-
- My system:
-
- CompuAdd 386DX 20Mhz, 8 MB Ram, ATI VGA Wonder 24XL 1MB, 640x480x16 res,
- SP Gold installed on physical drive 1 (D:) (HPFS) over GA with patches.
-
- SP (055) installed flawlessly.
