OK, guys, full panic mode is starting to set in, here.  I am a registered
MSC 6.0 user, and several months ago ordered and received my 6.00A upgrade
(for $12.95, and I received a pckage with 7 diskettes, shipped FedEx
2nd day air, Saturday delivery - no complaints about that!).  I have
as yet not received any notice about the above upgrade.

Should I be starting to worry?

Also, if anyone has already received this upgrade, will the new single-monitor
CVW work on my XGA-equipped model 80?  If so, will it work while I am using
the XGA drivers, or will I have to switch to the stock VGA drivers to 
run CVW?  The latter will be a problem for me - I'd like to add a palette
editor to Winfract, but it will be tough to debug if I can only run CVW
when I'm using a video driver that doesn't support palettes <grin>.
