                          Advantage! Works II Upgrade


PROBLEM

When upgrading the Advantage! system to Windows 95, the user may experience a 
problem with the system's communications, including the loss of voice 
forwarding, or the absence of a display for new messages in the StarCom 
switchboard.  Users may also experience problems with a few of the AST Works 
applications, including the graphics manager.
