- #PS: I've tested with PCNFS 4.0, and a file of approx. 1,5Mb was

-
- I'm not sure I follow this. There was a bug, which was sensitive to DOS
- version and other configuration effects. (That's why it took a while to
- surface.) It was found and resolved shortly before PC-NFS 4.0 was due
- to go into beta, and we determined that it was not appropriate to push
- out another patch for what seemed to be a fairly obscure bug; instead
- we'd fold the fix into 4.0. This is standard practice; at some point we
- have to stop revving the old version of the product.
-
- PC-NFS customers who are on support contracts received 4.0 upgrades
- as part of their support. Others have to buy the upgrade.
-
- If anyone feels that our support policy is unreasonable, or is out of
- step with the industry, please email me. (Please include the keyword
- SUPPORT in the subject.) In particular, if you are running an old
- version of PC-NFS and have chosen not to upgrade because of pricing or
- other reasons, I'd be interested to hear why.
