V8.0 is NOT RELEASE, still in development and in testing. It is not release. If you have access the the Alpha AUP server, that does not MEAN it is release. More importantly, if SSI or ME does not make any official announcement than its not release. These days what BETA usually means is I give certain people and testers special access to new parts or parts to test. It is normally private and it is NEVER part of any AUP. We do have a list-wildcat-beta list for this and we should use for NON-RELEASE discussions. There is also a list-wildcat-alpha, but I never use it. I might do this, now for Alpha AUP discussions. But overall, to test the AUP server and to get the CD distribution setup BEFORE any official release, I setup the Alpha AUP server. ALPHA usually means its closer to release. We call it a PRE-RELEASE and normally pretty solid but needs testing and some final clean up stuff. This is where we put the Alpha AUP Server up for pre-release customers. This is where if, you are part of the AUP and want to get the pre-release, you can type: start AutoUpdate /server:alpha.winserver.com /port:4023 /log /times When SSI finally is ready to release, we will announce it and the Alpha AUP server is switched to the AIP Server with a command line switch which is at update.winserver.com and the normal port 23. start AutoUpdate /server:update.winserver.com /port:23 /log /times same as start AutoUpdate /log /times -- Hector, Engineering & Technical Support Santronics Software, Inc. http://www.santronics.com (sales) http://www.winserver.com (support) http://www.winserver.com/AupInfo (Online AUP Help) Office: 305-248-3204 -!------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send e-mail to wclistserve@winserver.com with UNSUBSCRIBE WINServer in the message body on a line by itself.
