Apologies if I'm the only one with this question, I would have emailed
but I felt reasonably sure that I'm not alone.  I was under the impression
that HDB was only available from licensed AT&T vendors and AT&T.  Does
Rick Adams' and Peter's remarks mean that there is a bug-fixed version
available from some other source?  If so, I'd sure like to hear about it.

I would have no objection to buying a version that had some holes stopped
up and I would hope that it would also have some of the extensions that
have been added after the original release (e.g. alternate Systems/Dialers,
\M and \m capability in dial scripts, etc.).  How would one go about
finding out whether the HDB they were buying indeed had all of the fixes
that Peter and Rick have identified/fixed?
