- I had just read this, and then, while clearing out my pile of last month's
- junk mail, I ran across the single upgrade notice that I received.
- Although the product IS titled "for DOS" it is not so titled on the page
- where you actually send in your order. I haven't been able to find any
- place on my notice where it mentions that the windows applets would not be
- included, nor that they explicitly would not be supported in the future.
-
- Although it does seem logical that CP would eventually split
- their product line into two, this particular notice gives no indication
- that they were going to do so at this point. Since their previous product
- was a DOS product, and included the Windows applets, it seems to me a
- reasonable assumption that they would appear in the upgrade, particularly
- since 'for DOS" was not consistently used in the title of the program.
-
- I have a feeling that the two people who have been disputing the point in
- this thread received different upgrade notices from CP.
