- I don't agree at all. In anything the size of SAS/C, there are going
- to be bugs. I believe the majority of V6 customers are not experiencing
- major problems - you just hear about the ones that are on the net
- because they are reporting them.
-
- 6.1 fixes most of the problems reported in 6.0, except of course that
- we broke the MATH=68881 option. If you don't use that particular
- option, or can afford to use a different math option for a short
- time, 6.1 should be as stable or more stable than 5.10b.
-
- There were bugs in 5.10b, as well. We discovered several while
- testing 6.0, in fact, that had never been reported.
