Sorry to coorect you, Todd, but System Software 5.03 is already shipping -
at least on the new Vulcans from AE. A friend of mine (who is an authorized
AE dealer here in Germany) found that System Software on a new Vulcan a
week ago. The new features are (in brief:)

True 27-pin ImageWriter LQ driver (with triple font-heigh in system folder
New drivers for HP Deskjet plus and Imagewriter II from Apple!
All drivers have more page formats (including lables and envelopes)

New file-select Box. The "Disk" button has changed to "Volumes". When you
click on it, you get a list of all volumes which you can access directly.

Basic.System V1.4.1
ProDOS 8 V1.9 with new Quit-Selector
9 Tools, including the buggy TextEdit, have been revised
GS/OS V3.3 is the new Version number.

Dave Lyons, could you please infrom us if more obvious things have changed
or if there are new features we should be aware of??? Thanks!
