Bravo! Considering how fast other things have happened
in the
past, you seem to have accomplished the job in record time.
Thanks, but I didn't do much... just produced a V5.3 binary
distribution kit... the *real* work was by Bob Supnik, who
negotiated the license with Mentec...
Are there any things you would recommend that this
groups would
want to be aware of? Any Y2K issues that you feel are important?
Firstly, I want to let people know that the kit put up on gatekeeper
was slightly flawed (in that it took up MUCH more space than it
needed to). A new copy of the *same* distribution will be available
in the near future (taking up only about 900kb instead of 3.5mb)
from gatekeeper... all the proper bits are there...
nothing will
be missing, don't worry.
Now, as to Y2K... I doubt that V5.3 even had the support for the
extended dates (above 2003), so there was NO y2k work done at all
on V5.3.
