AVTS 3.7.1 is ready and the passwords are:
AVTSIS-3-7-1.zip is what you will now get if you order AVTSIS on an
Imation disk from McKinney. It is a whopping 14MB, which is of course a
royal pain to download. The NOMDAC version, as you can probably guess,
does not include the MDAC stuff, so it will be a lot smaller. You need to
have installed MDAC to use this version. You can download MDAC separately
from the ftp site if you like.
3.7.1 includes
support for recall races and closed primaries, and by popular demand restores
the System Total. It does not yet fix the write-in upload problem
reported earlier today. 3.7.1 should continue to work with GEMS
1.11.1.
The main reason for
the release is so people can test out the new InstallShield.
Everyone responsible for the TS should do so. It should solve all the
installation problems people have been seeing regardless of what OS release you
are running (95, 98, or NT). MDAC 2.1 is not installed as part of the
installation process if it is already installed on the machine. The intent
is to have Windows 98 installed with MDAC at the factory at some point.
For an explanation as to why we need to ship all of MDAC, refer to Microsoft's
page on the subject.
Hats off to Whitman
for putting this all together.

3.7.1 Jul-6-99
