Subject:Re: Fryin' the CX3- (DANGEROUS and UNSAFE V2 UPGRADE)

Folks/Emili:

Please don't worry - I have just finished checking this out with the
programmer who took the original Korg Inc, code and turned it
into this updater. We have confirmed this problem, which
passed all of our testing. I can only apologize that no matter how
hard we tested (and you can see by how late the release was
that we were trying to make it as bullet-proof as possible) a
problem came up.

I am trying to contact my webmaster right away to take down the
file until we make the needed changes.

So tit goes without saying - DON'T DOWNLOAD OR RUN THE
PROGRAM UNTIL YOU GET MORE NEWS FROM ME.

I will fully take care of Emili, since this was not his fault. Trust me
- we only want to do the right thing for our customers, I am so
truly sorry that this happened.

Jerry
