S-Geometry version 6.0.1
Well I finally got a chance to load the tape. What a royal pain!
They (the graphics division) sent an ECO tape with the distribution. In
there they say: If any of the following conditions are meet you should
load the ECO tape - and one of the conditions was if you have a version
of Color that is less than or equal to 416.31. Well we have version
416.19 and have been having minor bugs with it so I thought "Great,
maybe some of the bug fixes are on the tape!" WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. The
.... in the graphics group make the ECO tape so it has patches from
416.32 on - therefore I am missing patches 20 to 31. Load Patches does
not like that either. And guess what, they have patches for a whole lot
of systems that have the some problem - a gap from the "official" ECO #1
tape. Below is an abbreviated herald from my machine that has the
standard Color system software loaded plus the "official" layered
product ECO #1 tape. The comments to the right indicate if the patches
released with the 6.0.1 color ECO tape are okay or are skewed. Also,
they just send an ECO tape and a world load. No distribution tape of the
software! You either get a world with all the s-productions or you get
none. (I think that is rather lame.)
Somebody has got to whip those graphics people to shape! I send a
message to customer-services and they called back saying they were sorry
both I would have to deal with the graphics folks directly. BTW: If you
have to call the graphics division the toll-free number is
1-800-366-4743.
