-------------------------------II. Windows 95 OSR2 file update
-------------------------------Windows 95 (version 4.00.950B) contains a file that can cause
corruption of your QuickBooks data while accessing a remote
data file on a network. You do not need to check for this yourself.

problems and add new features. These updated releases are called
Service Packs. Because QuickBooks take advantage of some of the
enhancements provided by the Microsoft Service Packs, we
recommend that you use one of these Windows releases:
