Geesh! Why the secrecy? Surely the more people who test it the better. Look
at the number of bugs that have turned up in the last 2 weeks since 6.3
was released - none of them *terribly* serious, but a fair number none
the less.

Has Marc suddenly taken some sort of commercial attitude???? (Give the
customer a product - who cares if it hasn't been tested by as many
people as possible - we can charge for an upgrade :-)

Yours puzzled!
