RE: FLASH: Announce: new Flash web players available through Macromedia

[Jeremy Pinkham]

Quick question...


How come the main Shockwave download page

(http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/) lists the latest Flash

player as  "Flash 4 Player: 4,0,25,0 [...] Posted on: 12/15/99?"  Is that

what it really installs to this day, or is this a typographical error?  If

it is simply a typographical error, I would suggest fixing that info, as it

would lead Flash users to think they have the latest Flash 4 player when

they do not.  If this is not typographical, then why are folks still being

offered the old, pre-bug-fix version?
