Hi Ray

Not quite right here if I recall correctly.

Lisa Office System 3.1 fixed a few 3.0 bugs in some of the applications and in the Office System shell itself (the desktop manager/finder). Believe there were some printing problems which 3.1 fixed.

Believe there was also a bug in color handling by LisaGraph and file reference handling was improved (believe this was done so that Apple's Lisa to Macintosh migration tool worked better).
