I am currently using version 1.27 of the PAR software and haven't encountered any real big problems yet. Is there any reason I shouldn't udate to version 1.30? Does it have any known bugs that are not also in 1.27? Are there any added features? Thanks Mitch

The most current version of the PAR is 1.34B. The only visible change from version 1.30B and 1.34B is the scrubb bar has much more control over the playback of your animation. There are two major differences between 1.27 and 1.30B/1.34B. The main difference is the added features in the DOS DIRECTORY area it is much like the features in Microsoft Windows File Manager. The other main feature is the added PHAR LAP memory support enabling extended memory. As for upgrading, the ole saying "if it works don't fix it" still applies, I would not upgrade yet! these new drivers are in the BETA stage and there are still BUG reports. This is my two cents worth and I think other PAR owners will agree.

The major changes happened on VERSION 1.27 and version 1.09 was the last non-beta version before the PHAR LAP and DOS DIRECTORY area changes. Sorry about this mistake. At this point I think you are on your own with the beta versions. I am using the most current version 1.34B without any problems. Mike Morgan, CAD Forms Inc.
