I just downloaded the WB1.3 update that is floating around BBS's. But I am
wondering why it hasn't been announced here first? Usually things like this end
up being discussed here in comp.sys.amiga a long time before it hits the
streets. What gives?

But if it is official I have some reservations still. You never can tell
nowadays if something is infected with a virus or not. And such an update seems
like a likely candidate for some wacko to infect. You never can tell if someone
tampered with any of the files in the update or not. And since it comes from
CBM, most people will let their guard down.


So what I would like from CBM is

A> How about a list of files in the update and the file sizes. Still not 100%
safe but better than nothing.

B> Could you send the update to Bob Page? This is the best way to make sure
that we are getting a untouched copy.
