Apparently, the cd releases are released in uncompressed form
Therefore from what you're saying any 'version' of service pack 2 will
do, *provided* one installs SP1?
(Sorry to labour the point, but there are awful stories circulating
round about SP2, so it's useful to get things straight)
In fact, there *is* a difference in size & date (the later 'package'
being in fact smaller!)
Unfortunately 'though sp1 & sp2 (original 'package') & *some* hot fixes
for NT4 (& NT3.51), the ras fix & the kernel hot fix (the latter fixes
mentioned by Roger in another article, as being necessary if you intend
to use ras with Service Pack 2) don't appear to be included on the March
PcPro CD:-(
