{182} Under the "drwatson" heading, the URL given to obtain

drwatson is not valid. The URL under the "See Also" heading on the
following page will get you to source code component libraries but
not a compiled version of drwatson. Can you provide a current URL
for the executable version of drwatson? This valuable tool was left
out of Windows 95 by Microsoft and is wanted by many of us.

The setver command is not documented on page 288 as indexed.

Setver is instead on page 405, seemingly misplaced there instead of
in its proper alphabetized place on page 288.

In the seventh paragraph under the "Description" heading under

the "type" command:

The type command is useless for concatenating text files in Windows
95. The type command in Windows 95 refuses to recognize the *
character as a wildcard for filenames. The Windows NT command prompt
will let you concatenate files as described in your Windows 95 book
with the type command, but Windows 95 definately will not. I am
running OSR2 4.00.950 b.
