A couple of things here:

o Perhaps some of our issues were resolved in 6.1.3 and would be
included in 6.1.4 but because the fix was before 6.1.4 it would not be
mentioned in the 6.1.4 notes?

o What is a "point" release? I thought 6.1.3 was the last release for
the 6.x line. Why would they introduce a 6.1.4 if they're already up to
... what are they up to now anyway, 7.3?

o We have 6.1.3 and 7.0 here that we could install, but nothing more
recent. I Guess 7.0 shipped soon after the 6.1.3 release, like April
2003. My gut feeling says "NO!!!" to 7.0, and 'Yes' to 6.1.3, but maybe
we should try to get 6.1.4 or 7.1. We don't use Netware, so given that
should we pick 6.1.3, 6.1.4 or 7.1?

Thanks.
