The beta list is already public.  What did you expect the readers here

Your report states that the original problem has been fixed.  Along the 
way you've found that OS 9 enforces a short file name limit.  It's brave 
of Tuv to address that, but if I recall correctly it will only be useful 
when running OS 9 under Classic in OS X.  Do I misunderstand the report?

I couldn't figure out the report, but I'll bet there's a workaround to 
tide you over in the meantime if you can describe what you need.  I've 
been adding drag-and-drop to a lot of my apps and I haven't yet found 
any normal operation it can't do.

Win95 only; worth doing, but in the meantime will affect less than 2% of 
all computer users, and usually less than that for most Rev-based products.


These seem like worthwhile things to get done in good time, but they 
shouldn't be show-stoppers while they're outstanding.  If you're 
delivering a product you'll really want to spring for XP, as it's very 
different from earlier Win OSes and by far the most common OS.  If what 
you're building is just for personal use it should be easy enough to 
design around these for now.
