Hi Bruce, NDO 98 is an update of Geoworks Ensemble 2.01. It has some enhancements to the user interface, such as allowing filenames to wrap to a second line. It has usability additions, like a configure utility. It comes with high resolution video drivers to allow up to 24 bit color. It has Skipper, which together with the launchpad allows web browsing. And it has additional applications like NewBanker. Depending on which version of Geoworks you have, you can upgrade for a relatively reasonable price. It isn't the GEOS 3.0 kernal yet. That one is still being worked on. NDO 98 does have enough enhancements over GWE 2.01 that I figured it was well worth the upgrade, especially since some of the additions purchased separately for GWE would have cost more than the upgrade. If you have web access (or know someone who does), check out http://www.newdealinc.com for the most up-to-date information.
