TS>I'm seeing people talking about PB 3.2 being out and am wondering why I
TS>haven't received an announcement of it or an invitation to upgrade for
TS>$x amount of dollars?
        $19.95 from 3.x to 3.2, disk only upgrade.
TS>Is it actually out for sale/upgrade or is it in beta?
        It's for sale.
TS> I think I've received a invitation to upgrade to every minor
TS>upgrade sense I bought 3.0, but haven't seen much need in upgrading
TS>so far. if it supports 16550 chips now then that would probably be
TS>enough to get me to upgrade.
        From the README.DOC included with the 3.2 upgrade:
    * 16550 UART support.  If a 16550 UART is present when you open a
      serial port for communications, a FIFO trigger level of 4 bytes is
      set. This is very important when high speed communications are in
      operation and you're reading or writing data on a disk (the BIOS
      disables all interrupts during file I/O operations).  If the "DT"
      option is used when opening the port, the FIFO buffers are left
      enabled when you CLOSE the port.  Source code has been provided in
      the COMMUNIT.BAS example file if you wish to change the trigger level
      settings or disable the FIFO buffer.
TS>Any info would be appreciated from anyone!
