I hope that some of you good people out there can help me with this. In January I ordered the new version of the Grolier Electronic Encyclopedia for DOS. It (finally)arrived today. I had been assured that the equipment requirements were compatable, but 'TAINT SO! The new version REQUIRES a 386 for the video to work where the old one didn't. Since I have three 286 CD-ROM stations and no money to upgrade, I am stuck with disks I can't use. Grolier will refund, but can't supply me with the older version (no stock left). HERE'S THE DEAL: I'll trade anyone who is going to upgrade from the older (1992) edition with video for a brand new version. You'll get, by return mail, the new disk, all paperwork, and the manual (this is legit, not some sort of scam--I need five working stations for the encyclopedia, not just two to support class assignments, and this seems the only way to achieve this!) when I receive your olde disk in usable condition (no scratches or peanutbutter smears <g>). You can tell the older video version--it has "MS-DOS 5.0 on the right side of the disk label--the new version has "MS-DOS" only. Thanks in advance for any help!
