We purchased DWB2.0 in June '90, and it will still cost us 15k to upgrade to 3.1! What could possibly justify the cost to upgrade from 2.0 to 3.1? From the document I have gotten (re: posting to this group) all I can see is a few new cute features, but nothing of substance. Someone explain what DWB 3.1 can do that I can't with 2.0 and a bit of net software? doug __ Doug Davis/4409 Sarazen/Mesquite Texas, 75150/214-270-9226 {texsun|lawnet|smu}!letni!doug doug@letni.lonestar.org "Be seeing you..."
