OK, thanks, Ed.
Just reviewed an earlier post by Paul that said you guys were going to try
and get point releases out every 4-5 weeks. Are you still on schedule for 8.3
in that regard?
Also, I vaguely recall seeing a post that if I _did_ update with subversion,
that Web Update would no longer work? or am I confused.
Thanks again.
Kind regards.
