$Hmmmm.... I am pretty sure that you are mistaken in your interpretation.

Randy, as you were NOT at the NAG meeting and Ken and I were, I will confirm
what Ken said.

1.3 will have built in Pipes, AUX device, improved(!!!) Printer device,
and an improved Hard Disk handling DOS.  For A1000 owners there will be
a new kickstart disk and a new Workbench disk.  For A500 and A/B2000
owners there will only be  a new Workbench disk using the "hooks" built
into the roms to insert the new code which will reside in RAM.

P.S.
	This is the first time I have seen you off base...  it just might
confirm my suspicions that some of you gurus may be human human after all!

BTW I ask if CA could/would switch their manual format from the little
pamphlets that are now the in thing with CA to a two or three ring binder
that uses UNIX format and is easilly updated.  I got a "I will relay your
request to or publications people."  but it wasn't sounding too hopeful.
If there is a masive request like the one for LASER printed IFF docs we
all may benifit.
