Hi all,

The school district where I work uses Powerhouse 7.10F3, OpenVMS, Alpha.

We are licensed customer, and we choose to remain on 7.10F3 for a variety 
of reasons.

After our systems administrator retired, I found that our IT department has 
misplaced our 7.10F3 release CD.  If we ever need to reinstall PH, we are 
in big trouble.

I contacted Cognos, and asked to buy a replacement 7.10F3 CD.  They said 
that while they acknowledge that several customers are in the same 
predicament, their legal department won't let them send out an old release 
due to liability issues.  They cited lack of Y2K compliance as an example 
of one of those issues.  (We have not experienced any problems).

Instead, they sent me a Cognos Application Development Tools demo disc, 
which wasn't helpful.

Does anyone have a 7.10F3, OpenVMS Alpha CD they could send me?  I would be 
happy to pay any reasonable amount for your time and trouble, and postage.

I can also provide proof that we are a licensed customer, if that is a concern.



Mike
