It is required for IP7 based systems (4D-2xx) and fixes some assorted bugs of various severity. The severity depends on your application for the system. If you have a specific problem with a system that's running 3.1D, then call the Geometry Hotline and we'll help you out. The solution MIGHT be to send you 3.1G, but, it might not. What is it about this medium that makes people act like spoiled children? chris D. Christopher Dunlap email: dunlap@sgi.sgi.com Hardware Product Support Customer Support Division
