There was a slip of paper in (at least my set of) 2.2.7 CDs offering three
choices:

  - Get 2.2.8, skip 3.0, get the next 3.x release in January
  - Skip 2.2.8, get 3.0 and the January 3.x release
  - Get all three releases

I think the first option was the default if WC didn't hear otherwise.  You
should be able to email sales@cdrom.com (or something similar) to give them
your choice; don't forget to tell them your customer number.

HTH,

	Scott.
