Yup!  I forgot to mention this in my last email.  This is a problem for
newbies... they don't know what versions they're getting unless they look
at the date on CompUSA's price tag ('6/99 Ed' or something like that --
even then, it's not specific.)  I wasn't even sure myself.  What happens
after 15 Sept (assuming 3.3-R comes out) and the items in the box AREN'T
"latest version"?
