|I have an engineering client in China who is having
| a problem since installing SP3. I have not been looking
| for it, because the last time I was in this group,
| about a month ago, I read that SP3 would be released later
| this year some time.
|
| I'd like to solve his problem, but first I have to get on
| the same level with him. So, please.......
|
| Has SP3 been released?
| If so, do I just go to the website and download it?
| Or if not, what's the forecast?
