Here's the low-down from the NewTek BBS from SysOp Chuck Baker (more or
less -- I'm doing this from memory):
Alpha, MIPs and Intel version start shipping on April 7th, but that may
slip in the Real World (remember, the Flyer was supposed to come out
around December?)
Amiga version to follow soon (don't know HOW soon after -- I'm guessing 1
month or so (my opinion, not Chuck's))
SGI version sometime after that.
Mac version (don't know if it's PowerMac only of all Macs, with a PowerMac
version available) MUCH later, currently stated as Fall '95.
And for all you Flyer owners out there, they hope to get Flyer 4.x FINAL
version finished sometime after NAB. I'm going to GUESS about 1 month.
They've also said that Toaster 4.0 will likly be shipping before LW 4.0 is
done, but LW will be shipped to users once it's finished. Same as for the
Flyer owners.
AND For everyone waiting for Flyers who are NOT Beta or Dealers, the 4.02
stuff is finished, but they're waiting for the manuals to be printed.
Chuck says they may be shipping this week, and (I think) by the end of
next week.
Hope this helps. I'm taking the above as unequivical truth, since it IS
from NewTek Tech Support/BBS, even though the above was typed from memory
(I called about 12 hrs. ago).
