Hi Richard :)
   I think I have to respectively disagree here.... when I get a beta patch
for running TermDSM outside of cstm the RC Engineer that I dealt with got
the tape to me next working day!  and followed up to make sure that the
patch worked for us and if I saw anything weird with the patch or the system
afterwards....  (Thanks Peggy M.!!!)

   I think that HP gets the patch to us fast enough without putting them out
on the net one RC engineer even offered to dial in for me and put a patch's
files on my box if I had to have it faster than overnight for another beta
patch I worked with!   (I think he was joking but still there is that
option??)

Art "in a brace but moving again :) hehe" Bahrs
