I meant to send this out several weeks ago, but the local mailer kept
bouncing my messages. Oh well...

The latest distributions of SAS version 5.03 has a warning in the
release notes telling you that SAS 5.03 won't run on version 4.2. of
VMS. I tried it anyway and got an error message from the image
activator. I then called the SAS Institute and was told that the
problem was still a mystery. They didn't know why SAS wouldn't run,
only that it wouldn't.

I also got a message from a fellow info-vax reader who recommended
that I not use version 5 yet, they were having better results with
4.10, version 5 was very buggy. I thought (and still think) that 4.10
was pretty junky. I also got very positive notes from version 5 test
sites. I'm even more confused than I was before.

The manual set is very nice though.
