[amayausers] Re: DownLoad Updates

John,

 It has been discussed to start producing updates again. Melco used to 
supply "Service Paks" that would update the current released version of the 
software. This became more of a burden on resources at Melco to maintain 
than what Melco management felt was cost effective. There is much more to it 
than just making a patch or upgrade. The support when people download it to 
get it installed, the support of it when it does not work as intended, the 
support of its creation, testing and documentation, the support of it to be 
made available etc.. It is truly amazing what it actually takes. It became 
more cost effective to create new CD's that install automatically.

From discussions I have been in, it is being considered to offer Service 
Paks again. If it happens, it will not happen until after the first of the 
year a bit.

Jeff:

Does Melco ever plan to offer updates via download (not major revs) but
patches to the OS or incremental improvements?  Sure would beat calling up
and asking for new versions every time they come out.  Or do they already
offer this?

Thanks!
John

Rod,

 The 6.08.522 is officially released. The new files I have are different as
I have not given them to anyone at this point, and they were just made
Monday. :) What version or RSA and CSA are you using?
