1. Testing...
Could Hotline be involved in whatever testing is needed.
Maybe we could reinstall a Public machine.
2. Hand-off...
Not sure.. After the release goes Public???
Will there be a campaign to inform the people in Private
offices? Is there a mailing list so clients can ask questions like,
"Will going to 3.2.5 mess up my Version X.X of FrameMaker?"
3. Push to update...
"An automatic network re-install". Whats that? Sounds better
that reinstalling manually.

Although, this is directly related to Athena Release 7.7, this forum of
people is the best one to approach with regards to deployment of AIX 3.2.5.
I have prepared a means of installing AIX 3.2.5 on new machines, or
re-installing machines with AIX 3.2.5. The questions I have for this
forum are:
1. What testing procedure should be used?
2. How should the hand-off of AIX 3.2.5 be done?
3. Should there be an active push to update all machines to AIX 3.2.5 or
just new machines (and re-installs)? There is currently no update
procedure, and the best we will have is an automatic network re-install.
