:Thank you.  Now, when it's fixed, will we all be notified of what "X?"
:disk we should request?

I think that you will have to produce your RESPONSE/ix agreement for
that.  I don't know whether the X? fix will fall under the $675/yr
or $1500+/yr plan but I'm sure that one or the other will do.

Bill raises an interesting point though.  Heretofore, when technical
support was supposedly available we could call someplace and be told
how to get bug fixes.  Not new releases, extensions, or enhancements,
bug fixes.  Now that this is no longer available (unless I misread
Mr. Alcorn's article), how do we find out?  Worse, how does someone
who doesn't read comp.unix.i386 find out?  Does it become part of the
UNIX oral tradition?
