I just received the update disk for prodos 1.1.1.  It contains new
prodos system, new filer, and new basic.system (I think -- I cant take
a catalog of it right now, because I'm using my apple IIe in terminal
mode to type this right now!)  But I didn't get any hardcopy
documentation with it.  (Not needed to apply the update, just boot the
disk and it tells you what to do.)  The salesman at my local computer
store (Which was giving copies of the update disk away free to anybody
who walked in off the street.)  said that they had not gotten anything
describing it either.  (Believe that and I have a bridge I would like
to have you look at...)  In any case, he couldn't give me any idea of
what bugs were supposedly fixed, or why I should want it except that
it was 'better'.  (You know the story!)  

So my question to the net is --  

Does anybody know anything about this release?  Does it have any new
features?  What bugs does it fix?  What new bugs does it introduce?
Are there any 'gotchas' that I should know about before I try to use
it for production work?

Mail to me and I will collate responses, if any.
