No. The info I got in my update letter says it is available on 5.25" floppies
in both 360K and 1.4M versions, as well as on 3.5" 760K floppies. From the
sound of things, the new CodeView is worth the upgrade price ($125 + S&H) in
that it will run out of extended or expanded memory and occupy as little as
13K of normal DOS memory (when using extended memory). I wonder what the
people who produce Magic CV think about this, since it will likely make that
product obsolete.
