According to 3DFX, Papyrus has requested that 3dfx stop talking about the patch, that all information about it should now be gotton from Papy directly. So Papyrus, what's the story? Is it done? When will it be available for download? Joe

Okay folks, we've been pummeled with email from people regarding this issue, with some even saying that they are working on web pages devoted to (!) this "turnaround", and how Papyrus is "treating its customers". In an effort to quiet the *** theories and crazy rumors, allow me to state a few facts, once and for all: 1. A 3dfx port of NASCAR 2 is being worked on, and will be released soon. "Soon" is as specific as I'm going to get at this time. We will make an announcement by way of press release very soon. 2. It'll be put online to be downloaded for free. You won't have to buy it in an add-on or future product to get it. 3. We requested of 3dfx that information about this patch gets released through coordinated efforts with our PR department only, so that we could better form a cohesive strategy for spreading the word about it. We simply wanted all the info coming from one source, so that no one received slightly different reports about release dates, etc. No big deal. That's all there is to it, really. We'll make an official announcement when we're ready to. thanks, Steve Travers Papyrus --- Steven Travers please remove the NOSPAM from my address to reply. remove NOSPAM from reply-to address in order to reply by email. Thanks!

Haven't you realized by now that you aren't dealing with a bunch of amateurs here, they are professionals! With that said, thanks for keeping us posted. Why anyone "needs" to create rumors or a *** about the simple statement made by 3DFX, I don't know. I guess too many people are just bored and have nothing better to do. -- **************************** Michael E.
