- Just two days ago, my upgrade from 5.x arrived on my doorstep, ordered
- directly from SAS just after Christmas. I haven't installed it yet,
- but so far everything I've seen says "6.0", not "6.2". It would be
- nice if they had a sticker they could put on the shrinkwrap saying
- "Newest 6.2 release" or some such, though I'm painfully aware how much
- hassle it is to do something like that.
-
- On the other hand, knowing that updates are available for download
- lessens my concern a lot. Is the 6.2 update available via ftp
- somewhere??
