I got my copy 3 days ago.  From the preliminary docs it looks good.  I am glad
the library sources were included with 3.6a at no c|GDharge (for commercial 
licensees).  That shows committment.   We were fairly high on the list for
SDB.  They (MANX) seem to be short on disks: they required us to send the 
original disks back to continue to receive updates.  With the current shortage 
and pricing of 3 1/2 in. disks, that's understandable.
