[comp.protocols.appletalk] Shiva mngr s/w & Sys 7.0

newbery@rata.vuw.ac.nz (Michael Newbery) (05/17/91)

The System 7 compatibility checker says:
FastPath Manager II	5.1	Must Upgrade	5.2.2	FR
Internet Manager	1.6	Must Upgrade	1.8	FR

But the Shiva.com only lists 5.2.1 for the FP mgr and 1.6 for the Internet
mgr. The README for 5.2.2 says
   "2.4 FastPath Manager must be run on Macintosh System 6.0.4 or later,
        but does not yet support System 7."
So, when/where are they? Anyone know?

They are in Beta. The parts of the beta I'm using look good. I'd guess "soon"

(and no, I can't send copies).

	I called Shive on this, and if you have a registered copy and either
an AppleLink or Compuserve account, they will mail you the System 7 version
once they are complete...
