These points have been covered previously on this list but as you are
no doubt new to it I will repeat what I can remember and what I had to
do.

You need to download V3pre5 from the vapor site ftp.vapor.com and then
copy it over the one that is in the NC3 drawer. This is due to an
error occuring when the CDs went to print.

Try opening MDII, go to the MUI settings and in Windows select `save
on exit'. Save, and then increase the size of the group window and
quit. When you next loadup MDII the group window should be the size
that you left it and all should be OK

and

Again, an error when the CDs went to print. Download Webvision 2.1 or
2.2 from Aminet, or check out the latest AFCD. It's on there :-)

No idea I'm afraid, I use the serial port :-(

Download STRICQ 0.1371 from AMinet (I think it's there) and use that
instead as I have.

No idea on this one sorry, my CManager worked fine from the start:-/

You can still use AMftp. It should be in your NC2 drawer as mine is.
Also if you find that you cant move the Octopus dock bar away from the
middle of the screen, go into it's settings, select Internet Dock and
then enable the Dragbar option (bottom rh corner). Select Save and you
can now drag it araound the screen.
I hope that this little bit of information has helped. I have been
using NC3 since it came out and aprt from the little glitches above I
have had no problem with it :-)
