Hi,
All the download links have been checked and updated from net-dist to the
product's home page or wherever a web page contains the instructions (quick
guide, etc.)
The outstanding issues are:
1. ws_ftp and Zterm are freeware-type things that link to independent,
non-mit pages with downloading instructions. Should we create an IS page
for them?
2. ProComm plus has no mention of how to obtain. I am not familiar with
this product, so could someone please let me know how to proceed with
download instructions?
3. The Database Services support link still points to the Athena Consulting
home page. I don't know how to fix this... Mohammad already pointed this
out to me twice, so the software team is actively reviewing these pages now.
I think that's it.
Have a nice weekend everyone!
Kris
