Joe,

Don't feel singled out.  A former client of mine got the shaft when
upgrading his 5.6.x to a newer 5.6.x (I think it was around 5.6.7) on an
RHEL system.  He was on RHEL3 at the time, which wasn't EOL yet.  He had to
wait until he replaced the system and moved up to RHEL5 to upgrade fP.



Mark,

This kind of stuff is what kind of makes me afraid of 5.6.  But to be fair,
we are lucky to still have them around coming up with bug fixes.  I don't
know about you but I have not heard much from fptech in the last couple of
years and I don't have any idea if there will even be any future versions.
You would  think if they had something in the works they would want us to
know about it so we kept using the product, but not a peep.  Even the web
site is virtually the same as it was in 2007, except for a note about the
company name changing.

I guess what I'm saying is that it seems like they have extremely limited
resources so you have to factor that into your expectations.

Ken has been extremely helpful on this list on many occasions but he never
publically speaks as to the state of the company.  I would like the
ownership to give us a statement of what the future holds, good, bad, or
ugly.

Regards,

Scott
