Huh?

TOPIC
With all the recent At Ease updates made available, which should I apply to my At Ease environment?
DISCUSSION
At Ease 3.0 was released in summer of 1995 as both a workgroups and basic product. A few bugs were reported by schools using the 3.0 workgroups product, and 3.0.1 was released late in 1995 to both fix those bugs and to increase performance. There was no concurrent release of the basic product to version 3.0.1 since the majority and more serious of the problems were network or workgroups related.
In early 1996, a security bug that existed in workgroups version 3.0 and 3.0.1 was found to cause a problem on certain IDE disk drives that required an immediate fix. Additionally, an incompatibility with Open Transport (shipped in System 7.5.3) caused problems with At Ease 3.0.x on some newer computers. Version 3.0.2 workgroups was created to fix these problems.
At Ease 3.0.3 is primarily a recompile of the current At Ease workgroups 3.0.2 sources, along with a small change to the basic admin application, At Ease Setup.
The At Ease 3 CDROM Prefs Patch fixes a problem discovered shortly after version 3.0.3 was released.
The following table summarizes how to get to the best update level:
| What you have now | What to install for that version |
|---|---|
| At Ease (Basic) 2.0.x | At Ease Update 1.0 |
| At Ease (WG) 2.0.x | At Ease 2.0.3 Update + At Ease Update 1.0 |
