Service Pack 2
As you can see the size of this service pack release has gone up. This is because the plug-in is included and because we have implemented code to use text anti-aliasing always if available on the computer. Some Windows 95 first editions do not have the code for it. Although this should be less than 10% of target computers we will try and find a solution for it.
IMPORTANT: Before you can apply Service Pack 2 you must apply Service Pack 1. Or make sure that you are using minimum Mediator 5.03 (see the CD-ROM disc).
* Service Pack 2, includes the Plugin.
