3.51b fixdisk - does it require 3.51a?

Very likely, since parts (or most?) of 3.51b (or whatever it will be
called.  That's what I was told :-) cures problems caused by 3.51a.

I was also told some time ago that this fixdisk will probably be
available only "to those requesting and needing it" in the same way as
the 3.51a fixdisks.

But, as mentioned before, 3.51b is not available yet, so don't bother
them with calling.  They're supposed to contact me (and others) as
soon as it is available.  An announcement will be posted then,
complete with a list of fixes.
