Re: BMR bundle (yes/no)?

["Chick Doe" <Cdoe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

funny that this came up. i just spoke to the ssa help line about version 6.1.01 
to ask if there were any plans for additional software distributions, ie 
V6.1.02. they said that there would be no more cumulative distributions for 
version 6.1, but they also said that there was a BMR bundle that was available, 
though it is not a supported version release of their software. so i requested 
the BMR bundle and will also be going through the testing process. if anybody 
has any experience with this BMR bundle, i'd sure like to hear their comments. 
and if there are 600+ BMRs in this BMR bundle, don't you think that's enough to 
package together as a supported release. we went through the same thing in 
version 6.04: cum tapes, followed by BMR bundles, followed by 'son of BMR 
bundle",  followed by individual BMR's. i thought the goal was to have 
periodic, supported, distributions that included all of the BMR's so that you 
didn't have to apply the BMR's individually!

Good afternoon,                    version 6.1.01  mixed mode

My company is giving consideration to loading a beamer bundle (dated Feb 
27th, 2000 thru Nov. 15th, 2000) into a test environment where a core team of 
ten people will be prototyping for approximately three months. There are 666 
beamers within this bundle and we have no desire to uncover these beamers on 
an individual basis. We also, within this same test environment, have applied 
a BOL modification (for 3-way matching) from a SSA European source as well. 
Does anyone have experience with this unsupported SSA beamer bundle? If you 
have indeed applied this beamer bundle --- did you apply any individual 
beamers prior to loading this bundle? Does anyone have experience with this 
beamer bundle overlaying this ERG three way match install?   Thanks for your 
cooperation.  have a world class day
