Summary of Changes in PC Access for Windows 4.30

[How to Determine your Build Number] [How to Obtain the Latest Version of PC Access] [Version 4.30] [Version 4.20] [Version 4.10] [Version 4.00] [Changes to Version 4.30]



As more people use PC Access for Windows, we sometimes find problems with the program. Some of these problems occur only to certain hardware setups, and some of them apply only to certain host system (MLS) differences. To solve these problems we make small changes to PC Access. Some of these changes are invisible to most users, while others require us to add new program features or setup items. After we accumulate a few changes and are ready to distribute them, we release a new Build of PC Access for Windows. This document describes the changes in each Build of PC Access for Windows since we began shipping the product.
