Re: Last "Stable Release" of RDI

[Mark Murphy <jmarkmurphy@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've been using 9.6.0.3 for a while on Windows 7 now with only minimal
quirks. iSphere works well except for printing spool files which appears to
be because my workspace is on the IFS. Other than the iSphere bugaboo, I am
not sure what the quirks are now as I have gotten used to them. Of course
Windows got us used to getting used to minor bugs right?
