Agree wholeheartedly; this shows both dedication and professionalism on the part of Jordan and the rest of the team. Of course, since I'm upgrading production servers, what I'm REALLY looking for is a "golden" release -- that is, a version that for some reason (fate, luck, magic, sweat) came out more trouble-free and stable than most after the last minute patches were applied. I'm hoping 2.2.7 will be it, as it is unclear whether there will be a 2.2.8 and I can't afford to gamble on -current on these machines. --Brett At 09:37 AM 7/24/98 -0600, you wrote: >Jordan K.
