CDE Production 2 and 7.0.15.4 *** BE AWARE ***

Be aware, after unboxing my nice new shiny CD with (CDE V7.0 for SUN 4 SOLARIS) that will give my development staff the newest and greatest browser (bowser) and forms, and applying it as specified by the installation guides. We find that our 7.0.15.4 instance is GARBAGE, HOSED, SCREWED out of existence.

BE AWARE, it will overwrite your common libraries and mangle your bin.

We call our problem into Oracle and listened to thirty minutes of canned classical music. Explain our problem to three (3) different techs, speaking some form of english used on mars. Then to be told "Ooops, that is a known problem". Well thank you very much, here it's friday fricken night and I am restoring from a backup tape the last set of binaries. Oh did I mention, this was their suggested FIX..

Let me see if I got this right... $547,000.00 for a product that COULD be replaced by SYBASE or INFORMIX, are they that secure?
