There were many different "versions" of Windows during the Windows 95/98 era.johnsemlak said:
Windows 95a was the first to come out - this operating system was designed for drives less than 2 gigs (or certainly not more than that size) and didn't have FAT32 partitioning... essentially, if you had a drive over 2 gigs in space, you had to partition it into 2 gig sections - the OS couldn't handle partitions bigger than that.
Windows 95b was never sold in stores - you could only get it by buying a new computer (or swiping someone else's disc.) This was probably the beginning of widespread Windows piracy because it had FAT32, and some beginning USB support - crucial upgrades if you had a large hard drive or a USB device.
Windows 98 added all the stuff from Windows 95b, but integrated Internet Explorer (boo.) I never liked Windows 98.
Later on they came out with Windows98 Second edition, or Windows98SE - if you had purchased Windows 98 before, you could get an upgrade disc for $20, but Microsoft didn't publicise this fact. (You also couldn't do a clean install from the upgrade disc - you had to install Win98FE then install SE over it. Of course, the old Windows 98, lacking a moniker, becaome Windows98FE, or First Edition. Although this didn't show up at first, W98SE also contained a number of API additions - I will admit they are improvements - that later companies - ESPECIALLY Adobe and Microsoft - used in newer products. Around 2000, they stopped supporting backwards compatability for those programs.
I ended up using Windows98SE mostly because it was relatively stable (although it was still prone to sudden crashes.) and I ended up using Windows98SE on my aging computer right until I got a Macintosh.

Might that one have complex IP ownership issues?

Caverns should be available at GenCon and probably in stores in early September. This is, of course, barring any further strange problems (this one has had tons of problems). It is at the printer and should be ready.
CSIO revised (which includes the dungeons in Wraith Overlord) should be out before the end of the year. (well before actually, but we are really paranoid about setting dates right now)

Color me intrigued. Is there a website or message thread out there that details the history? I didn't know there was anything interesting here.

Greetings fellow old school gamers.
Tell me if I am losing my mind. I seem to remember Judges Guild puttiing out a book of blank hex sheets. The sheets had big hexes imposed in over the page to put everything with in it. The smaller hexes were numbered and there was a place at the top of the sheet to put a location for the hex or a name of the campaign setting. Does anyone other then me remember this book and if so where on gods green earth do I find that again?
Thanks in advance.
