- I remember when the 1.3 to 1.5.10 upgrade went final and was 'news'ed out.
- It was something on the order of a jillion 64K UUEncoded mailmessages. It is
- still clear in my mind because it was the second day I had an E-Mail account on
- our machine and I filled up the /usr partition. If you think the NET police
- were mad, you should have been in MY office...
-
- P.S. I still have the package that ast sent out to help the 1.5 to 1.6*
- upgrade possible. E-Mail me for more information.
