AMERICANS are scared. They are looking toward retirement not with the optimism of their parents, but with fear. Three out of four working Americans expect people their age to face a financial crisis when they retire, according to a New York Times/CBS poll. Over half say they have not begun to save for retirement. And many see themselves reaching old age without the company-paid pensions and Social Security that allowed their parents to live so comfortably.

FLAW IS POINTED OUT EARLY IN WINDOWS 95 SOFTWARE

The Microsoft Corporation is sending out 450,000 flawed copies of Windows 95 to 450,000 users who have agreed to test what are known as "beta," or preliminary versions, of software, Infoworld magazine reported. Windows 95, the business version of Microsoft's Windows operating system for personal computers, is expected to be shipped in August. Microsoft's final test version of Windows 95 contains a design flaw that limits its use for business, the magazine reported in its March 27 issue. Computers running the system and multiple application programs together will sometimes freeze. Microsoft, based in Redmond, Wash., concedes that the latest Windows 95 test version has a design flaw, and says it has provided software to fix it, the magazine said. However, Infoworld's editor, Nicholas Petreley, who said he had tried both the new program and the remedy, contended that the remedy could also cause problems. The purpose of beta tests is to find problems in software before it is sold commercially. NO MORE
