How will we know when to call Lattice and ask for 5.04 ? If they are doing a mail-out to all registered owners to inform them of the update, why not just send the update then ? I imagine most people will phone Lattice asking for the update when they hear about its availability.... fred

I recall JToebes saying something different than what Chuck does - that you had to call the Lattice BBS and download the fixes. That's SOP with me though, so I could be wrong. Given this, what I suspect is that the patches will be on the LBBS (which is SOP for Lattice), and sent to those who call in with bugs/complaints that were fixed in that update. BTW, JToebes also said that _all_ reported bugs for 5.02 had been fixed as of the time he was at Badge. If you haven't reported the bugs, you can only blame yourself if they aren't fixed. <mike -- Round about, round about, in a fair ring-a.
