RE: XP and BPCS 6.04 Client Issues

[Phil.Catlin@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Claire and Karen...

All that said and done... The response from the OGS folks is somewhat
troubleing to me.  At the user conference, Mike Greenough said emphatically
from the podium, at an open session, that SSA would not be sunsetting ANY of
its products as long as someone was paying for support on it (and he
repeated himself more than once!)  I know I'm paying support for 6.002, and
I am very interested in making sure that XP works since I'm about to roll a
LOT of new PC's with that OS on it just after the 1st of the year.  Please
post to the list what you have found, since I expect others will be
interested as well.

Isn't non-support just another form of sunsetting??? Sounds like I have some
testing to do, and potentially some cages to rattle.

Regards,

Hi Karen,

It could be that XP uses a different ASCII code page than whatever you had
before, (e.g. 1251 or some other number) and maybe you need to modify your
ATOE and ETOA tables that CEA uses?? Have you solved the issue or not?

cheers,

Clare
