- You call or write SAS technical support. They will send you a fix.
- Every so often, we batch up the fixes and create a new numbered
- release (5.10a, 5.10b and so forth.) The latest fixes are also
- available on BIX.

- We don't have access to an FTP site to use for this. Starting with 6.0,
- however, we will offer support via internet mail.

-
- I don't think many people would be willing to pay enough for this
- service to come close to covering costs. Therefore, we've taken
- the approach of solving problems that are reported to us and
- assuming that anyone else either hasn't encountered the problem
- or is working around it.
-
- We hope to be able to make 6.0 patches freely redistributable,
- which should help make them much more easily obtainable. Our
- legal department is looking into this now.
