Hi Larry, Perhaps your question was intended for Jeff H.? I can't say with any certainty what AS packages with specific TDK distributions... Jeff G.

But some customters request script code and we also had the discussion here a while ago about the availability of the Starkit for all intended versions (did not check it since a while). Next topic is the dependecy on system versions (not evaluated by me), esp. on Unix. One big question always is the long-term safety: Is it secured, that the same starpack runs with higher os versions, newer system libraries, etc? But of course we also deliver StarPacks (but mostly for Windows) where it is possible and advantageously. THX -- Gerhard Reithofer Tech-EDV Support Forum - http://support.tech-edv.co.at |
