GLoW (c) 1996 - Gorgeous Ladies of Warez
"we release more than just eggs"
updated (08/17/97)
(Special Note)
GLoW currently has openings for female or male suppliers & crackers!
GLoWs Goddess's,Council,Seniors & Staff are Female ONLY! This is what
we are, A Female owned Release Group. We believe Executive Positions of
GLoW are ONLY for Women! So Guys, watch out! You might be able
to release here and there, but we Ladies release more than just eggs,
besides, we also look much better in bikini's than you!
Those not in the nfo: you know who you are and yes shouts to you too!
Support the software companies! If you enjoy using a program or using a
Util, consider buying it! Someone has to make it worth the programmer's
effort to keep up the high standards.. They made it, so they DESERVE it!

New features, changes and fixes[edit | edit source]
- There are some changes to the Active Desktop and Windows Help.
- The
WINSETUP.BINbug present since build 1500 has been fixed. - This build is the first to introduce the final sounds. Only the shutdown, tada, and notify sounds are still different, since the shutdown sound is longer and lower pitched than the final one, with only the startup sound being finalized. The startup sound has been changed in build 1629, tada and notify sounds have been changed in build 1633, and the shutdown sound has been changed in build 1687, but the old shutdown sound made it instead into the Windows 98 theme of Microsoft Plus! 98.
