Re: [emax] SE or not SE, that is the question.

2001-10-24 by John Silveria

The SE upgrade is indeed nothing but a OS upgrade that came on 1 disc, nothing more. 
As far as why transform multiplication keeps giving you a "not enough memory error " I 
can't remember what can cause that. Hopefully someone else can answer that. All I can 
think of is that you need to make sure you are performing the function with a disc that 
has the SE OS on it.
