What about sockets?

Incidentally, I read the release notes and saw no mention of UNC support
having been back-ported.  You realise this can be an issue on Windows 2003
with IIS 6 with remote data sources, I hope.  A rather important bug fix to
omit from a final maintenance release.

And my biggest question:  On the home page, it says, "available for
purchase and download."  Since when has fP-Tech offered purchase of a back
version rather than forcing upgrades?  Sounds like you're still selling
5.0, rather than just offering upgrades, based on that verbiage.

At any rate, without a differential list of features between 5.0.15 vs 5.6,
this is all very confusing and underdocumented, IMNSHO.  You can see what
was changed, but without a comprehensive analysis you have no idea whether
you need 5.6 or just 5.0.15.
