That's a supported upgrade, so it should work fine. If you want to double-check anything, you could get the source for 8.2-RELEASE and read src/UPDATING. Note that most of those issues should be taken care of by the above process, but it will give you an idea of what major changes have been made that you should be aware of. I would of course do a backup before any major upgrade. Daniel T. Staal --------------------------------------------------------------- This email copyright the author.
