The following was posted on GEnie on 1/6/89 by Jack Durre', who is a
consultant for SoftLogik, and is also a SIGop on their SIG:

The upgrade ("1.5") HAS GONE TO THE DUPLICATORS, and is expected back
in the office during the first part of the week...  We will begin
mailing them to registered owners as soon after we receive them as we
possibly can...and yes, I said "mailing".

... to answer your question about bug "eradication", YES!  Deron has
eliminated all of them that were on the infamous "list", plus any
others that he was aware of...To top it all off, however, he NEVER
assumes that it's "done", and will continue to add features, etc., and
to provide all of the support for which Soft-Logik has been known since
the release of "Publishing Partner".  As for _why_ you can't get it to
bomb, when others complain?...I dunno either, and this has been the
source of great frustration for all of us in the office... Sigh...this
program doesn't just hate users...it hates EVERYBODY, equally! <grin!>

Seriouly again, I would suggest to everyone that upgrade disks have
already gone out to dealers, and if you're a registered owner (in the
U.S.), you should probably receive yours within the next 10 days to 2
weeks.  I'm certain that everyone of you out there is going to be going
over the new version with a 'fine-toothed comb', looking for a single
'glitch' (call it "knee-jerk reaction"), and I would only ask that you
be _certain_ of any problems, before you take us to task...thanks.
