Robert,

We've had 7.10G1 running on a variety of Alpha (and a VAX) for the last
3 or 4 months.
These systems are both VMS 6.2 (various incarnations) and VMS 7.1.  We
are happy with its stability.

One thing that we did have to do, in order to get the license 'manager'
to work (when upgrading from 7.10E), was to 'manually edit' the
LICENSE.DAT file that we had.  The SERVER and DAEMON lines in this file
needed to be modified.  Customer support here in Sydney Australia
pointed us in the correct direction here.  I can give you exact details
if you need, so contact me direct.

Hope this helps,

Cheers
