Why is the 1992 version of software included with a ``recent'' purchase? This bothers me. When I called Computability and asked what version of Software Toolworks was included, they said ``Oh, we always include the most recent versions.''. Now, I am suspicious. Is the 1994 Software Toolworks the same as the 1994 Grolier's? thanks -- -- John Patrick Lestrade cnesta::lestrade or SSL::lestrade lestrade@ra.msstate.edu OS/2.....finally, a real OS!
