Re: Space savings with newer MWAVE
"...After installing MWave 2.22, I found I had about 60M more free space on my
hard disk. That was a pleasant surprise. The reason is that the MWave 2.22
install specifically removes the MWD (Mwave for DOS) directory and all the
stuff in it. Apparently, you could have manually done this with MWAVE 2.11,
but it mustn't have specifically done it as part of the setup (I think I was
told I needed to put in MWD before loading MWW 2.11 when things didn't work
well in my last upgrade, but my assumption now is that the advise was
incorrect). ..."

not exactly. you *do* need to install mwd 2.x before installing mww 2.11
because the files need to be there for the mww installation, but not to
actually use it. you got good advice, just incomplete advice. install mwd
2.x, then install mww 2.11, then you can deltree \mwd. it's nice to see that
ibm's engineers are starting to be proactive about it, though.
