By testing I mean pulling down thru the supportweb page. For notification I still get the Customer Support eAlert emails on patches released by BMC.

Fred, My definition of "general release" is simply this: When they put a file out there that we can generally access then it is released. An "official announcement" might be done after that point, but all testing should be concluded long before I can get my fast clicking, patch hungry, little hands on the first file. :) And frankly I am surprised that they do not upload the files into a directory that is not readable by most users during "alpha/beta/gamma" testing. Then when they are ready to release it, flip the permissions on the final form of the directory to "all users". (It would avoid people from getting partial copies of the installers.) -- Carey Matthew Black Remedy Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Love, then teach Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap....
