.5.  AutoMac III manual, 70 pages

.9.  Upgrade coupon for SuperPaint 2.0 for $50
.
.     I hope this answers the questions about what is included in the Academic
.VErsion upgrade.

Wellll, not really.  There seems to be a difference between what you get if
you upgrade, and what you get if you buy it off-the-shelf.

I just spoke to MS Customer Support today...I haven't sent in my upgrade
application (academic version) yet...but from what they said, all I get
(for my $35 plus 6% California tax and $5.50 shipping) is the software.
I will supposedly receive ANOTHER order form with the diskettes, which
I can use to order the documentation for ANOTHER $35.

Grumble.
