Correct.

> Specifics, please.

I wish I had them.  I could ask, but the person I specifically had in mind
won't be available again until next Tuesday/Wednesday.

I think I had partial specifics middle of last year, I just don't remember.
After the last month and replacing my dead server -twice- (my wife slipped
bringing it in and kinda fell with the first one--she's fine, no serious
injuries), I can barely remember my name at the moment.

I know we discussed something that 5.6 would fix and even 5.0.15 at one
point (I think UNC's were the 5.6 rationale, because we were using IIS and
a remote data share, which won't work with drive letters on 2003 Server and
IIS 6).  But there was something in specific that we looked at 5.0.15 for
(or I did, and suggested it) and was told no, there were some things that
just flat-out broke in .15 that work in .14.  I only know as much as I'm
told, and I can only remember a fraction of that.

If you'd like, I can ask and try to get specific information on it again.
