The most current FreeHand upgrade is NOT 8.01! ... but 8.01 is where

John's link will take you.


I cannot for the life of me figure out WHY Macromedia continues to keep

the existence of FreeHand 8.01b A SECRET! ;-) If you go through the

usual channels (links) on MM's site to find a FreeHand updater, you end

up with 8.01, *not* 8.01b.


You have to KNOW that 8.01b exists; *then* you can find it by searching

on MM's site.


Here's the link to the tech note on 8.01b; it has links to the DL's.

Can anyone at MM or otherwise explain why 8.01b, *after many months* of

existence, continues NOT to be the updater that is most easily made

available by MM? And, BTW, you have to supply your registration number

to get 8.01, but you can just DL 8.01b with no reg. number. Go figure!

Am I missing something here? I thought the opposite.
