- Hi Folks,
-
- We're a bit behind schedule getting the serial numbers and
- authentication keys out. This was due to our problems with
- Executor/DOS 1.99j and a new problem we found in Executor/Linux 1.99j.
-
- The new problem is that student and educational serial number/key
- pairs are not properly acknowledged in 1.99j. Instead you get a
- message stating that the key does not correspond to the platform
- you're using and as such it drops you back to demo mode. We've fixed
- this in Executor/Linux 1.99k, but we haven't gotten E/L 1.99k out the
- door yet.
-
- We may not have all this straightened out until sometime this weekend.
- Once all the code is tested and in place and our database has been
- retooled, the new way of doing things should be much nicer.
-
- In addition, we're working on some tools that will allow you to
- download many fewer bytes when we release successive revisions. Right
- now you have to pick up copies of files that haven't changed, or
- haven't changed much, but in the future you'll be able to pick up some
- binary diffs (considerably smaller than the old "transmog" files) from
- one experimenatl release to the other.
-
- Keep the 1.99k reports coming.
