Well, I don't read the liturature, I read the code and monitor what the
beta testers have to say, but that's a story for a different day.

The migration tools in v1.2 are much enhanced. In addition to the usual
Previous Desktop, the tools attempt to preserve the existing INI file and
config.sys settings where it makes sense. The experiences reported by the
beta testers are generally pretty good. As always, this is a YMMV. The
real test will be when I attempt to migrate my main box, which has not had
a full reinstall since 1997. Nominally, it is still running Warp4, but
that not entirely accurate.

Regards,

Steven
