The upgrade is $125, I think. So it's a very good way to go about it, actually.
You end up with both programs, and the cost is considerably less that way.
Should have thought of that before. 🙂

We have all _kinds_ of stuff in WinImages to work with the multiple processor
capabilities in NT. That's the main difference between it and the 32 bit
Windows version. As for the pricing strategy, there's no comparable Alpha or
MIPS product, the way there is for Intel. Those things truly stand on their
own.

It's still available, BUT, right now there is a program we are running called
"Direct Access". Call us at (800) 852-6442 and you can get WinImages (Windows
3.1) Release 3 for $49.95 without any proof of anything. I don't know how long
we'll keep that up, it's very much an experiment – but it is available now. To
answer your question, yes, PhotoShop is qualified for the upgrade, even though
it's somewhat tangental to WinImages…

Fax a page in, is all.

We'll support it quite fast. Heck, if we supported NT on Alphas and MIPS (and
PowerPCs!), we can support something with a broader market share, eh?
