Re: Suggestions for maintaining source code

[Bert Strouwen <bert.strouwen@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Patrick,

There is always the possibility to downlaod the sources from the internet.  You 
will
get the latest source and you can download the latest PTF also.  This will 
ensure
that you have the latest of both.

URL = http://mapics.support.com

but you need to create a user profile for this but it isn't that hard.  So give 
it a
shot.
