Well, I ran the compatibility checker on my machine at home, and it said,
"don't run SUM Partition", and it claimed problems with a lot of the SUM-II
utilities, saying I needed 2.0.1. of the partition software and so on.

No problem, thought I, I'll just give Symantec UK a ring. Well, they don't
have a SUM-II version for 7.0. Not are they expecting one. Nor will they
say when one will become available. In fact, the tech. support guy seemed
to imply fairly definitely that there *isn't* a version of SUM-II for Sys7.0.

So, I turn to you, oh great Net. My assumption is that Symantec UK, being
a far-flung outpost here in Europe, don't know what they're talking about.
SUM-II is a well-known popular product, so there *must* be a 7.0-aware
version, right? Do I have to call Symantec trans-Atlantic to get some action
out of them? Or am I stuck with 6.0.7 until Symantec get around to updating?

I don't think they have much of an excuse, to be honest. 7.0 has been Beta
for centuries, hasn't it?

	Nick.
