Re: Rdi from the ground up. Got a DVD, questions.

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Don't mess with version 6.

Get version 7.  You can download it from the ESS website I provided a
link to before.

(FYI: Version 5 was on CDs, Version 6 was on DVD, Version 7 was on CDs
again.  Why? Because the manufacturing process couldn't handle
spanning DVDs but it could span CDs.)
