Before we get everyone mad when their "friendly Apple dealer" refuses to
hand out anything but 3.0, let's make it clear that Apple does not provide
their dealers with Supplements nor have they instructed them nor given them
permission to distribute anything but what comes with the Mac+ and the
ROM/disk/memory upgrade, mainly Finder-5.1, System-3.0, Font/DA-Mover-3.0

...which is a crying shame (please correct me if I'm wrong) !!!

Of course, a dealer could (for money) order the Tech Notes and Supplements
from Apple, and, yes, in the docs of the 85/12 Supplement Apple tells
the reader (developers, mainly) to use the accompanying latest Finder and
System (5.2/3.1.1) with the program-products that they sell (if they have
a license to do so), however a quick check at the local consortium store
(supposedly sold more MACs than anyone else so far) showed that they
a) neither have the Supplement  b) nor are they routinely providing their
customers with anything but the Apple System-Disks that come with the
hardware - (special requests by 'knowledgable' customers may be granted -
but I'm not sure that they always have the 'latest and best', besides, it's
not really done as a policy but rather as a "favour" by and to individuals)
