WINDERS 98

SUTHERN EDITION

It has come to our attention that a few copies of the WINDOWS 98 SUTHERN EDITION may have accidentally been shipped outside the South.  If you have one of these, you may need some help understanding the commands.  The southern edition may be recognized by the unique opening screen.  It reads "WINDERS 98" with a background picture of General Robert E. Lee superimposed on a Confederate flag.  It is shipped with a Dukes of Hazard screen saver.
