Licence letter

[Butland, Nick]

Chris,

According to Conrad Whittall at the User Group conference recently, 8.30
should be in beta early in 2001. I don't know what the usual turnaround from
beta to release would be. Anyone with experience of beta-testing new
versions out there?

	I've just had a letter from Cognos mentioning "major new releases
for the
	majority of software" this year, and accusing us of "running a
number of
	licences unsupported". It goes on to offer an "amnesty".

	This accusation is untrue, as far as I'm aware.
	I find it particularly irritating given the ongoing lack of any
scheduled ship
	date for PH 8.30 for VMS. I & many other VMS customers have been
waiting for
	this in order to move forward from 7.10.G, shipped over two years
ago: there's
	too much missing from 8.10/20.

	If it means we're no longer supported on 7.10.G, I'd be far from
happy - as far
	as I know G4 is quite recent, acknowledging that V8 is presently
inadequate for
	many customers.

	I'd be happy to investigate anything specific, but this looks like a
	fishing trip from Cognos. I don't know what the circulation is.

	Chris Sharman,
