We just received our copy of ST/V Windows and after some irritating
experiences it works. Be aware all of you who switch from ST/V 286
to the new version: After completeing the installation (which goes
straightforward from within windows) nothing would work until we
discovered the following: a GO file is not installed in the new direc-
tory and ST WIN doesn't need one. So far so good, but: if your old
go-file is in the scope of command.com (via APPEND) you will experience
strange phenomenons, because it will be loaded by ST V Win producing
lots of garbage! Hopefully it didn't ruin the change.log and image.
So: install your new ST in a dedicated directory AND prohibit access
on the old go file by removing the APPEND command from the autoexec
and restart.
