Well, I just subscibed (joined?) the ADPA to get the tech notes.  I also
noted that the only way to get the updates on disk was on Macintosh
disks.  I think this is STUPID (Hear that Apple?).  I don't own a mac,
and I don't plan to.  I DO have access to one, but not
forever...However, they may have meant 3.5 inch disks.  Even so, how
hard would it be to put them on 5.25 inch disks?  I guess Dos 3.3 is too
much to ask for :-)

These are not the fastest or best paths, just the easiest to use.
I hope they work. (Most notably the US Snail Service :-)
