BETA OOPS - otherwise very nice, very fast

And it doesn't need the reported 260 MB free space when it overlays the existing installation.

I've not gotten a full test of the BETA, but I've seen two problems on IBM Thinkpads.

1.) On install of the BETA's Virtual in the subsequent reboot, I get a message saying that c:\Windows\System\url.dll has been replaced by an earlier version. You then reboot again to get it fixed. Funny thing is the version I have before an after is an 86KB file from 8/24/96 (a 560 and a 380 thinkpad are consistant).

2.) At the end of a data download extraction, I get a system error in Phase 21 at Data Item 0. I'll try to attach it below, in case anyone reads W96 status dumps:

520 Illegal Operation Shutdown on Phase 21 / 0 items

Other than that, I'll say the little sucker is fast (on my rather slow Thinkpads) and seems to work just fine. As usual basically a sound program.

Do remember to back up your scans - they get overloaded when you install the beta.
