I'm not claiming any merit here, but in August '94 we've done one app in FPW2.6, and were quite happy when nobody bought it. We just had an internal consensus that FPW was only half way out, and guessed there must be a 3.0 soon. In October, at the CompFair in Budapest, we asked some MS people whether 3.0 was already out, and I could see (don't know which kind of) surprise on their faces.

In February 95, we saw 3.0 demoed.
