big time apology here. i was wrong - we are not running OpenWindows 1.0, we
are still running pre-FCS. we signed up for a pre-release "special", which
is the only reason we have OpenWindows. i was under the false impression
that the post-beta2 version i received was the release version, but i'm
wrong. so don't go calling your SE's bugging them about a tape. from the SUG
conference I found out that OpenWindows is not what they call an "FCS"
product, but a "developers release". i don't know what that means. you'll
have to talk to your sales rep to find out the details. sorry for the
confusion. i hope i didn't cause anyone too much heartache. even if i'm not
running 1.0, it's still good stuff!!
