    I'll take a stab at this:
    
    o  I just received a copy of AmigaVision from Mem Loc. It is V1.0.
    
    o  CanDo just made available a new release which I believe is V1.5.
4538.2Amigavision more recentSALEM::LEIMBERGERFri Feb 22 1991 10:256
    Amigavision has been updated recently. I know it ends in a "G".
    1.3g maybe. I have it at home but I just can't remember. 
    My scanner software hasen't been updated since I purchased it quit
    awhile back. ASDG is very good at updates so i guess it is 1.0 or
    1.1 no more than that.

4538.3AmigaVision Version 1.53G DECWET::DAVISSay what?Fri Feb 22 1991 12:440
4538.4Hmm - I just bought an old version!!!MEO78B::MANDERSONAmiga + '030 == MicroCRAYFri Feb 22 1991 18:2712
    Thanks.
    
    I just bought a JX100 scanner that comes with SCANlab100 - and it was
    version 1.2 dated May 1990 Sounds like that may be current. 
    
    I just received CANDO from Creative Computers and the version on that
    was V1.02 (disk images dated Feb 90). I will be calling them and
    Invatronincs  in a day or so to complain bitterly.

4538.5mailorder-> buyer bewareSALEM::LEIMBERGERMon Feb 25 1991 06:0713
    Don't blame Inovotronics. It is up to the dealer, seller to maintain
    his inventory. When you send in the card you will get an update notice.
    I know for a fact that if you have a lesser version than 1.5 there is a
    charge for the update. Maybe in your case you will get by this. I
    consider this part of the price when dealing with mail order. It is the
    same as getting a shirt that don't fit, the wrong color dress, or what
    ever else you see happening with items ordered through the mail. Of
    course the mail order house will often exchange the item, in the case
    of software they sent what you ordered(I doubt they stated version #)
    so you may have to go the normal update path. Mail order has it's
    advantages but I consider the first rule of thumb with mail order to 
    be "Buyer Beware".

4538.6mailorder->ASK for specific versionDECWET::DAVISStrength through PeaceMon Feb 25 1991 12:187
    Also, on the subject of mail-order, before you order KNOW the latest
    version of the software you want and ASK for that version.  I usually
    have them place the version # on the invoice.  Saves you a bit of
    hassle in the long run.  FWIW

4538.7CATS is shipping AmigaVision 1.7MADRE::MWMMon Feb 25 1991 14:250
4538.8all is ok.MEO78B::MANDERSONAmiga + '030 == MicroCRAYMon Feb 25 1991 18:3016
    I have talked to Invatronics - a great conversatin - and they are happy
    to upgrade me to V1.5 at no charge because I have only just purchased
    the product.
    
    Now I just hope V1.5 is easier to understand than V1.021 :-}
    
    Yes comments about version  numbers and buyerbeware etc are all taken.
    One of the reasons that I purchase direct fom the states is quite simply
    that the versions are generally far more upto date than here in
    Australia. Outside a conference like this it is not always possible
    to know what the current versions are anyway, the USA magazines we get
    are usually at least 3 months old.

4538.9Difference between AV v1.53g & v1.7????DECWET::DAVISStrength through PeaceTue Feb 26 1991 14:325
    Anyone know of the bugfixes/enhancements to AmigaVision from v1.53g to
    v1.7?

4538.101.7 was probably a mistake..MADRE::MWMTue Feb 26 1991 15:2111
Well, I called CATS (the people I bought my 3000 through) to get an upgrade
from 1.3 and was told they were going to ship me 1.7. When the disk got
here, it was 1.53G.

Either they told me about a version that's not yet ready to ship, or the
person I talked to was mistaken. I'd expect that CATS would be shipping
the latest version if anybody is.

Sorry for the misinformation.
