3.1G is not needed for most systems. It is required for IP7 based systems
(4D-2xx) and fixes some assorted bugs of various severity. The
severity depends on your application  for the system. If you have a
specific problem with a system that's running 3.1D, then call the
Geometry Hotline and we'll help you out. The solution MIGHT be to send
you 3.1G, but, it might not. 

What is it about this medium that makes people act like spoiled children?
