You all should know that we have had people running MENTOR software in a mixed 10.1/10.2 environment for a month now with no problems. But I do look forward to being able to keep up with APOLLO's releases in a timely fashion. ---- Dave Hayes dave@vlsi-mentor.jpl.nasa.gov dave%vlsi-mentor@jpl-mil.jpl.nasa.gov "The word 'choice' is a fraud when one is taught what to choose."

What are general user impressions of 10.3? Is anybody using it? Most references I see in this newsgroup are to 10.2 something. We are going to receive some Hp 400t's shortly and would like to upgrade large numbers of nodes to 10.3. Should I be worried?

We were part of the beta-test for SR10.3. We have not yet received our final, officially-released-to-the-public tapes yet, so I suspect that very few people are actually using the real McCoy. Talking about the beta-test software is, of course, forbidden by the beta-test agreement. Frankly, if your current nodes are running SR10.2 right now, I wouldn't rush to install SR10.3 -- if it's not broke, don't fix it -- it's never a good idea to upgrade more than a small number of nodes to a new OS revision without extensive in-house testing of the features you use. -- David Krowitz krowitz@richter.mit.edu (18.83.0.109) krowitz%richter.mit.edu@eddie.mit.edu krowitz%richter.mit.edu@mitvma.bitnet (in order of decreasing preference)
