But the problem isn't with the code: there is a version of ACL 3.1 that runs on the '040. I received it a couple of months ago. I didn't get it from NeXT, though, but from Franz. When placing an order with Franz for ACL for my office Suns, I included a year's `maintenance' for ACL on my home cube, and that's how I got it. I think it's inexcusable that copies of this haven't gotten from Franz to NeXT and from there to owners of upgraded old cubes. Like Dave Tenny, I originally bought my cube in part because of ACL, and the fact that the upgrade broke ACL ought to have been remedied as quickly as possible. But whether it's Franz or NeXT that shouldn't be excused isn't clear (to me, at least). Maybe NeXT hasn't shelled out for maintenance yet, and they don't have a copy of their own.... --Steve Anderson
