Today in my mailbox I found an envelope from ReadySoft containing
a single disk, upon which was the newest version of A-Max II; the
long-awaited 2.06.  Many of you will be happy to find that this
version corrects at least two major bugs discussed in this news
group.  Quoting from the README file on the disk:

"Amigas with > 8 Mb RAM:
 Version 2.06 functions correctly with large RAM A3000s. The maximum
 selectable Mac system size is 8Mb; the maximum addressable by A-Max
 is 12 Mb.  So if, for example, you have an A3000 with 16 Mb 32-bit
 RAM, and 1 Mb chip RAM (sic), A-Max will at most use 8Mb of 32-bit
 for Mac system memory, 192K of 32-bit for A-Max code, 128K chip RAM
 for A-Max use, and approximately 3.5 Mb 32-bit for the RAM disk.  Of
 course these numbers only apply to the MMU memory mode."

Another problem fixed in 2.06 (as told me by Ray at ReadySoft and now
confirmed by my own testing) is a bug that corrupted printouts to a
LaserJet printer using 3rd party printer drivers.  Now that this is
fixed, it opens the door to A-Max owners who would like to use
inexpensive non-Postscript laser printers and still obtain high-
quality output.
