Hello Deron.

On 15 May 2006, you wrote:

I fully understand that. Just wanted to know if there was indeed a "same
version, different processor" (free) option.
I'll upgrade soon (hopefully...).

One more question: if I upgrade to 5.0 PPC, do I gain access to 4.1 PPC too? I'm
asking this because of the reports about instability in some versions. That way,
I'd have another option if I don't get along well with the "work-in-progress"
versions.

Bye,

Nuno

Yes, you do get access to the 4.1 release as well. However, that won't buy
you much. The bugs that are being worked out are in the shared Amiga
library code, not in PageStream. (Well, for the most part.) The
PageStream5.0 features have already been tested and debugged on Linux and
Windows. The newest stable release for the Amiga is PageStream4.1 for
OS3-68k, which you already have.
