New fp 5.6 installs and upgrades, how's it going?

[John Esak]

We bought the 5.6 upgrade quite a while back, and on Monday we are going to
get a couple other upgrades and new installs for some of our Windows boxes,
and maybe freeBSD as well. (I know we will be a business day late over the
June 4th deadline to get the extra 10% off, but I am pretty sure they will
let that go. In our case, I called to make sure, and got a no problem for
Monday... so if any of you haven't gotten your copy yet and want to save a
little, get with your dealer or buy direct or whatever... but I would
suppose it would have to be Monday morning for that extra discount.

Anyway, we've been anxiously waiting to put up the new copy and get the
additional 10 indexes.  Also, I can really use the new "return" value from
SYSTEM, not too mention the new get PID function.  Can't wait. We also got a
"sockets" license so we can automate write some of our own network related
functions that we now use other small utilities to do.

Anyway, the install for us is a pretty big deal (as it would be for anyone
with a large operation running filePro), so we are going to do it in a very
planned way, and at a very planned time. Unfortunately, the next extended
time we have the system down and available for big changes is the first week
in July. So, until then it would be great to hear about other installations
and upgrades going on now. Any good things, any bad things... whatever.  Of
course, I'm mostly interested in *nix platforms, but we have a couple
Windows apps running, too, so I want to hear about all installs.

Just want to get some discussion going on the new stuff.
