It is not the same patch - though it is named the same. It restores the lighter interface and the optional 3d view types under the wireframe cube (hold mouse down on it to see them...). I didn't mind the darker interface which seemed to bother a lot of people in the prior patch - it was barely noticable to me. The volumetric world rendering and even working in in that mode is still wretchedly slow (but then we none of us hardly venture there anyway - perhaps for that reason). Get it though cause you'll probably need it for the next patches or releases. NOTE: that you do not have to have installed the prior corel 4.1 patch - this new 9/00 one will upgrade perfectly from the MetaC version. - Dave
