Well, I assume you meant uw.exe.  I did do a comp on the two files, and
they were identical, and the dates are also the same.  So origin is
shipping the updated version now.  So if the executable you got with the
game is dated 4-14-92 then you already have the updated version, and
don't bother downloading uwfix.  The directory listing for the new
executable looks something like this.

In a different article Juha Liukkonen wrote:

"I am one of the few that have not encountered a single bug in the game.
My original exe file is 561744 bytes long and has date 11.03.92 and time
19.20 - I haven't seen the wuarchive version's info."

I guess he (she?) meant the date was 11/03/91.  So if you have this date
on your executable you might want to download the fixed version even
though some people like Juha appear not to be having problems.

This is the directory listing of the fixed executable and the fixed
version that I got with my copy of UW:

uw.exe         561744   4-14-92  14:52
