O.K., Sports Fans: I have an update from what I posted earlier today: > ...... This morning I just got a call from our HP > contract coordinator, and she sez: > > 6.5 PP2 is "temporarily out of stock".... After above I put in a call to HP RC. They just called me back. RC answer: They just talked to "software distribution people", and were told "we have plenty 6.5 EXP2" (note my earlier mistake in calling it just PP2: It *does* include PP2, but there is also a subsys tape, which makes it an EXPRESS release (but let's not go there again right now; more pressing things to attend to) ). Just now I got my HP Government Business Center software coordinator on the line again (live person). I told her what RC said. She said the "temporarily out of stock" answer she gave me earlier also came from the "software distribution people". I gave Rockville my RC call ID number; suggested maybe they introduce themselves. HP is now talking to HP; should have the "final answer" soon.... stay tuned..... Ken Sletten
