The 2.2 release won't be happening until the end of the year (?) or so, and so it'll be a few months before you get it. However, Walnut Creek is (just now) sending out the 2.1.5 release on CDROM. If you're on the subscription program, you should be getting your copy any day now (however, I don't know what the mail delays are like for overseas mail, and so it could take longer). Alternatively, if you can accept a little instability, you might want to get the latest 2.2-snapshot (the 960801 version). I believe Walnut Creek is releasing this particular version as part of their snapshot subscription program. -- Darryl Okahata Internet: darrylo@sr.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Hewlett-Packard, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.
