- And what would you be saying if they hadn't shipped anything at all?
- Seems to me that UU is "damned if they do, damned if they don't".
- It's a no-win situation that they've gotten themselves into with some of
- you people. Can't you understand what happened?
-
- They made mistakes. Probably many of them.
- They are doing what they can to correct them.
- They *ARE* committed to getting this product working.
- It's just a matter of time.
-
- In fact:
- I just got off the phone with Joe. (nice guy!)
- Again, he's the only guy answering the phone.
- There is already a new version of emplant software on their BBS
- called "newemp.lha". It is a "hidden" file and thus cannot be seen
- from a directory. Just use (D)ownload, select the proper protocal,
- then type "newemp.lha" for that file. (aprox. 20k long)
-
- This file corrects the 2.0 problems, but doesn't fix A3000 specific
- 32 bit memory problems. Joe is working on that now and says that
- he *SHOULD* have it by late tonight or early tomorrow and he'll put
- it on the BBS. Since I have a A3000, there is not much need of me
- dnlding the "newemp.lha" file.
-
- Once I've dnlded the A3000-fixed emplant software, I'll upld it to wuarchive.
- According to Joe, this file *WILL* include all previous bug-fixes.
-
- BTW: For those of you that can't reach wuarchive and have asked me to
- email updated Emplant files to you, I will do so as soon as the A3000
- version is put on UU's BBS tomorrow. (emplant files are approx 20k)
-
- C'ya.
