I just picked up my enhancer software yesterday (after waiting for a
couple months).  I had actually been given a copy of the software so
I could use Deluxe Music Construction (which requires 1.2--the
dealer was out of enhancer kits at the time), so all I really wanted
was documentation.          
When I bought my Amiga in November '85, I looked at the nice 3-ring
binder and thought "great... they've used a nice binder so updates
can be made nicely".  Not only that, but I was also lead to think
that software houses might take advantage this idea so that all the
manuals could be kept in similar binders (or added to the binder
like Textcraft).  UNFORTUNATELY, this is not the case.  The little
manual that came with the enhancer software is little more than a
joke.  Why not provide replacement and additional pages to bring the
binder up to code, rather that expect us all to reference the
enhancer update pamphlet (which doesn't even fit in the binder)?  
It would be nice if some kind of documentation standard could be
agreed upon (take a look at the IBM PC documentation set... manuals
are easily updated, and most software documentation comes in the
same ring binders).      
Any chance of buying a NEW documentation set after all the updates
have been made (i.e. one without errors, additions, etc)?  How about
it Commodore.... I'll buy one!
Anyway, so this won't be considered a total *flame*, I'll have to
admit I do appreciate the new goodies in 1.2... especially the
increased disk speed.   Now all I need is about 2 meg more (above
the meg I have now... thanks Alegra!), a C compiler, and MORE TIME!
