 MR> Is 2.30 the 386 version? How did George package that? Was it like 2

2.20 and then 2.30 came in three distinct versions, separate packages. 
There was _DOS, _386 and _OS2.  The 386 version was 32-bit, and had
access to more memory so could handle longer messages.  It required a
separate registration from the DOS or the OS2 versions.  I never used
the _386 version, as the straight DOS one was sufficient for my needs.

 MR> I registered all my BW stuff, but lost my reg for the copy of the 386

There really isn't much difference in functionality between _DOS and
_386, from what I heard.  I dug up an old FAQ to check my memory.  Dunno
anything about timeslicing, though.  :)
