	Gamma 10 refers to the internal number of the printer device
and its associated drivers; it DOES NOT reflect the gamma numbering of
the V1.3 Workbench.  As a matter of interest, the Gamma 7 release of the
printer stuff was on the V1.3 Gamma 4 Workbench disk.

	If a beta testor calls in a bug which I fix and I want to send him
a copy to confirm that the fix works under his conditions, I will bump my
internal gamma #.  That may happen in the morning and I may get the disk out
by noon.  If I get a call in the after noon with another bug I'll bump
the number again.  I keep a list of each of these mini-releases and what
was fixed/added.  This helps me track the releases very very closely.

	Don't worry, the offical V1.3 Workbench can't be too much farther
away (I hope anyway).
