I was out of the office for some days, so my reply is quite late.
I know that you are not responsible for that, and you can't
know about the situation in Switzerland. But for information,
I received on 3/3/00 a note from an Account Manager of Tivoli saying:
"we have not started shipping clients yet. To help you here is a bare CD
of Netview 6 I happen to have in stock. You will receive your
official copy in a few weeks."
A "few weeks" is not a week after GA!
I will forward your answer to this account manager. Maybe all you can do
is forward this mail to someone in Tivoli that might be interested to
hear about how things are in Switzerland.
For me, I have just to put my hands on an installation manual (is it the
same as V5 ?), and I am ready to start installing now.
