	     If you are going to do it ... Do it with an ATTITUDE!

   Just when you thought it was safe to form a Util's Group, PWA back in 96'

  *  Please note that PWA is NOT accepting pay sites of any nature.. We're *
  *  in this for fun and entertainment, not to try to make ourselves rich. *


────────────────────────────────┤ Final Note ├─────────────────────────────────
 ║ Support the software companies! If you enjoy using a program or using a   ║
 ║ Util, consider buying it! Someone's got to make it worth the programmer's ║
 ║ effort to keep up the high standards... They made it, so they DESERVE it! ║

New features and changes[edit | edit source]

  • This build updates the startup and shutdown sounds to ones identical to the sounds heard in the RTM product.
    • These sounds also have a higher bitrate when compared to builds after 1273, making it the only available build to have higher quality sounds.
  • This is the first build to display the end-user license agreement during the graphical part of setup, although it includes placeholder text. It would later be shifted to the text-mode part.
  • Network setup has been finalized.

Bugs[edit | edit source]

Installation[edit | edit source]

Installing via winnt32.exe does not work due to an optional directory not being accessible.
