    Yes!  We are back in to the swing of things with a fresh new look and new
  management to boot.  We at ExP think its about time things got rolling after
  the internet bust here in 702.  The Warez is flowing in at 20+ megs a day and
  28.8 V.FC and V.34 are setting the standards to leech by.  So Why not call
  our NEW US HQ HELL at (702) 259-8698 NuP: G-SHOCK PROTECTION and get all the
  info But Beware its under construction heading to that standard of most
  excellent boards, PC-BOARD 15.1, serving all your file Transfer Needs!  Soon
  USR V.34!  We are looking for distro sites and couriers to help spread both
  Local and LD.  So spread the word and prepare for ONLY THE BEST!

Changes from build 121[edit | edit source]

  • Fax Viewer (and related drivers) and files related to the NetWare client were updated.
  • setup4.dll, setupx.dll, command.com, user.exe, gdi.exe, and krnl386.exe were updated purely to change the version number.
    • Same for viewrend.dll, except this changed from 4.00.77 to 4.00.83.
  • extract.exe and riched.dll were recompiled to remove the included symbols from the previous build.
  • The accepted Beta Site ID and Password values were changed to the Beta 1 variant used until build 216. Additionally, the network share list in SUWIN.EXE was removed for this build.
  • Two of the setup configuration files were changed to include drvspace.* as well as dblspace.*

Bugs[edit | edit source]

  • The Control Panel may not work in fail-safe mode.
  • Some audio files, including Tada and Ding may sound very distorted if a Sound Blaster 16 is connected to Interrupt 10 until a device is connected to Interrupt 5.
  • The Vision964 doesn't work properly with the S3 driver on higher resolutions.
