No, this is not 'The Real Version'. The version that Premier Technology, Inc.
will be shipping is called 'NetTrek - The Real Version' and is numerically
versioned as 3.0. Oh, and yes, 3.0 is in color, works under MultiFinder, has
lots of new features [and a few 'features' removed], etc.
How do I know this? I'm the author.

Dave is wrong 'bout an upgrade for those 'honest' early 'shareware' people. I
made a deal with my publisher to get the old 'shareware' people free versions of
the released version. I just saw the finished box art last night, finally! It
looks like the end is finally near.
Oh, and sorry, I can't send free copies to anybody who sends me money now, as
my pub won't let it go any farther. Thanks for the tremendous support and
enthusiasm that all of you have had [not forgetting the patience w/ the 'buggy'
early junk versions that got out in the previous years].
Thanks for your attention.
