-	[ problems with Codeview 3.0... ]
-he was informed that Codeview 3.0 is only a beta-release product,
-and Technical Support couldn't help him with it.
-
-Codeview 3.0 is what is being shipped with Microsoft C 6.0.  It is
-NOT beta-release.


I dunno --- this sounds to me like confirmation of some widely held
beliefs about beta-testing versus the shipping of version numbers that
end in `.0'.  I detect three statements which are not mutually exclusive
even though they may seem inconsistent:  "CV 3.0 is being shipped",
"CV 3.0 is beta-release", and "Technical Support can't help with it".
