Hope you or some of your colleagues at Apple can answer a few questions... >The following new products have been released through APDA and support >System Software v.5.0.2: Is v.5.0.2 is an update to fix problems in v.5.0? Is it required for TML Pascal II to work? >System Software v.5.0.2 is not yet available through APDA. I picked up 5.0 at a dealer this summer and have been waiting to buy the "official" disks and documentation from APDA, but they were not in the last (summer) catalog. The fall catalog should be out any time now, but it sounds like 5.0.2 will not be in it. Will 5.0 software and documentation be offered in the fall catalog? Will I have to wait for the winter catalog to order 5.0.2? When will v.5.0.2 be available through dealers? >A0229LL/A--Apple IIGS Toolbox Reference, Volume 3, Beta Draft--$35.00 I don't like buying the same thing twice. Since Beta versions have errors and lack an index, I usually wait for the final version. Will it take the typical 3 to 6 months for a final version? Will Vol 3 be a bound book published by Addison-Wesley? Will it replace the loose-leaf "update" manual I bought a few months ago? Some of my questions may be answered when I get the fall catalog. When will it be sent to APDA members? --Dave Tribby - - - - - ARPA: tribby%hpda@hplabs.HP.COM UUCP: hplabs!hpda!tribby
