A patch problem: the 4.0.1 patch for Bryce found at Corel's (not Adobe's) site doesn't seem to work on the new Corel release of Bryce 4 that I just bought. :( Looks to me like Corel made some minor changes to the 4.0 release (to add their name to the screens, etc), and then didn't update the patch (which notably is still dated Oct. '99) ... the result being that the patch fails to do the update because "menus.dat is an invalid version". I double-checked to be sure that 4.0.1 was not the version Corel was shipping, and it is not (the 4.0.1 enhancements listed in the patch readme are not present in the Corel release, which has an EXE version number of 4,0,0,13 BTW). I've also done the fresh-reinstall-and-patch as suggested by the patch readme ... still fails with the same message. I'd love to be able to write Corel an email about this, but their tech support email page is also broken. Doesn't bode well. :( Any suggestions? I really want some of those 4.0.1 fixes and enhancements ...
