- The Cornell view on this is that V2.1 is no longer supported, because
- we run V2.2.7 here and are focused on Horus development. If you are
- unable to switch to V3.0.7, which runs without problems on that platform,
- I think you are on your own. On the positive side, you have source, and
- you are welcome to use this newsgroup as a medium for exchange of ideas,
- bug fixes, or code with other V2.1 users.
-
- I believe in freeware -- thats why you have V2.1 in source form, and
- why it works well -- but I also think there are limits on how far
- the developer of a system has to go to support it and so forth. We
- supported V2.1 for years, and I think it is pretty solid, albeit slow
- and a little limited.
-
- Contact sla@isis.com if you want to obtain an evaluation version of
- V3.0 to show the "powers that be"...
