RE: COM enhancements due 4Q2000

Bill,

You can download the Rel.6 newsletter from the Mapics web site.  It contains all of the information about the release (either summary or detail) format.  To get information regarding enhancements beyond the base release you could ask your affiliate for information. Depending on the module, and who your affiliate is you may or may not get what you are looking for.   I have also had some success in the past talking with the specific product manager at Mapics.  They are obviously quite cautious not to pre-announce release dates but are willing to discuss features that are being developed in the labs.  Good luck to you.

BTW...I wasn't aware the Mapics the Mag was still being published.  We subscribed for quite a while and then the magazine stopped showing up.  I called their offices and never received a return call.  I assumed they went out of business.  Who on this ML is getting the mag and what is the content like now?

Subject: COM enhancements due 4Q2000

   MAPICS the Magazine refers to enhancements to COM Rel 6 that are available in Q4.  (This does not refer to enhancements in the base rel 6 but to further changes.)

   "Offline automated shipping" particularly caught my eye.

   Although it says to find more information at www.mapics.com, I can't find any information about this there.

   Does anyone have any information about these enhancements?
