Antony) Distribution: comp Organization: Brown University Department of Computer Science Lines: 28 As far as I know the state of the affair in regard to Sybase is the following: a) Sybase will be available in the same to 5 concurrent users limited version more or less for free for all users of old and new systems. However, it will not be part of the 2.0 software release but must be requested from Sybase directly and costs a small handling and shipping fee (whatever that means). b) For current owner of old systems, the upgrade should be shipped automatically as soon as the according registration cards for the software upgrades are sent in. This card should work for Mathematica and Sybase if I remember correctly (I already sent it in). c) Lisp should be upgraded automatically for owners of the old OS, as should be Mathematica. For owner of new systems none of these packages are bundled anymore, except Mathematica for academic users. If I should be wrong in any of the above, please let me know as I intend to gfet upgrades for all the software mentioned above and would be quite upset if one day I had to figure out I missed some deadline waiting for upgrades to arrive...
