Always great to see your name Richard.  I hope all is well.

Well, I was afraid of this.  With some careful manipulation of
registry and environment variables I think I can support both
v3.4.9 and v3.4.10 on a single system.  But loading .NET v1.1 SDK
onto a system that already has all of the other higher .NET
releases isn't a good idea.

Source isn't shipped with our utilities and to my knowledge jBase
doesn't support a way to securely deploy a package with source
that gets injected into the compiler (no MV DBMS does but I
really wish they did!).  So we need to deploy object-only and it
looks like our download page simply needs to separate out each
supported jBase release.

Unless someone has a better idea, I'll reinstall each release
into separate vmWare environments.

Thanks again,
T
