WINServer@winserver.com       Original: TO....... ROBERT WOLFE       Original: SUBJECT.. [WINServer] Wildcat! v8.0 Pre-release       Original: FORUM.... Private Email              Folks,              Wildcat! V8.0 is NOT RELEASE, still in development and in testing. It       is not release. If you have access the the Alpha AUP server, that       does not MEAN it is release.              More importantly, if SSI or ME does not make any official announcement       than its not release.              These days what BETA usually means is I give certain people and       testers special access to new parts or parts to test. It is normally       private and it is NEVER part of any AUP. We do have a       list-wildcat-beta list for this and we should use for NON-RELEASE       discussions. There is also a list-wildcat-alpha, but I never use it.       I might do this, now for Alpha AUP discussions.              But overall, to test the AUP server and to get the CD distribution       setup BEFORE any official release, I setup the Alpha AUP server.              ALPHA usually means its closer to release. We call it a PRE-RELEASE       and normally pretty solid but needs testing and some final clean up       stuff. This is where we put the Alpha AUP Server up for pre-release       customers. This is where if, you are part of the AUP and want to get       the pre-release, you can type:               start AutoUpdate /server:alpha.winserver.com /port:4023 /log /times              When SSI finally is ready to release, we will announce it and the       Alpha AUP server is switched to the AIP Server with a command line       switch which is at update.winserver.com and the normal port 23.               start AutoUpdate /server:update.winserver.com /port:23 /log /times              same as               start AutoUpdate /log /times              --       Hector, Engineering & Technical Support       Santronics Software, Inc.       http://www.santronics.com (sales)       http://www.winserver.com (support)       http://www.winserver.com/AupInfo (Online AUP Help)       Office: 305-248-3204                                   -!-------------------------------------------------------------------       To unsubscribe, send e-mail to wclistserve@winserver.com with       UNSUBSCRIBE WINServer in the message body on a line by itself.       To contact the list admin, e-mail ListAdmin@winserver.com       -!-------------------------------------------------------------------                     begin:vcard       fn:Hector Santos       n:Santos;Hector       email;internet:winserver.support@winserver.com       tel;work:305-248-3204       version:2.1       end:vcard               ----- End of Forwarded Message -----              ...
