I'm not sure why, but ever since our last equipment order arrived, we don't seem to get any new software deliveries. Has there been/is there currently a long wait for 3.3 tapes? What do we need to do to get ours? thanx -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael G.

Our local rep told me that the VGX systems require Irix 3.3 and hence they are being shipped with it. Systems in place already will be up graded starting later this summer. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Adios Amoebas, | "I've tried and I've tried and I'm still mystified, | | Robert Briber | I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied." | | 224/B210 NIST | --Elvis | | Gaithersburg, MD |------------------------------------------------------| | 20899 USA | rbriber@poly1.nist.gov (Internet) | |(301) 975-6775(voice)| rbriber@enh.nist.gov (Internet) | |(301) 975-2128 (fax) | rbriber@nbsenh (Bitnet) | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, here's a quick question. All summer long, I've been hearing about how wonderful 3.3 is. This is great news, except that I've heard from several sources that the general release for customers with hotline and software support was supposed to be in August. It's now midway through September and we still haven't heard a whisper. Has the release date been changed? Are things just behind schedule? Any info would be most helpful.

We have been a bit apprehensive about publishing a date for general distribution of 4D1-3.3 since it relied on an update called 4D1-3.3.1. The update includes fixes for bugs found by our Geometry Partners and our own general use. Predicting when and how many defects will be posted and fixed has proven to be a major challenge. In any case, the 4D1-3.3.1 update has been completed. Per a conversation with the folks who control the logistics of shipping 4D1-3.3 with 4D1-3.3.1, shipments started September 7 and should be done by September 14. With a two day delivery cycle the software and documentation should be delivered to the customers' sites no later than September 18. You may want to poll your receiving departments for this delivery.
