Mine was in todays mail and it even included an update to get me to 2.2.1. There were two packages, one for my 2.0.2, the other for 2.2, postpaid and nicely packaged. I should also add that there was typeset complete doc for it as well as a letter signed by Marty Stewart. I didn't ask for the 2.2.1 update but apparently it's required for the fix to work. I've led more than one charge, wielding a thermite torch, to complain about Interactive. I can grumble that the bug was there in the first place but I must compliment them on the prompt and professional way they handled it once they got on it. Whoah! I wasn't damning with faint praise, that didn't say "once they got around to it", given the short period of time they had from the time they started, they did a first class job. I think that Marty Stewart deserves the benefit of a doubt here. If we're too quick to paint the "new broom" with the "old brush" we're likely to get more of what we've already howled about. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm running out of vendors and this one is making encouraging noises. I'm going to hunker down and see if there's really a change, I'm dreaming, or wishful thinking. In the mean time, WAY TO GO MARTY ! ! ! -- Bill Kennedy usenet {att,cs.utexas.edu,pyramid!daver}!ssbn.wlk.com!bill internet bill@ssbn.WLK.COM or attmail!ssbn!bill
