Have the courses described in .1 been upgraded for TeamLinks 2.7?

If not, are there any plans to do so?  When?

Malcolm

RE .2 (Hi, Malcolm!) - No and no, I'm sorry to say.  (Reason? Lack of funding.)

There is a possibility that the support course will be updated for V3.0
(skipping V2.7).  But no guarantees at this point...

Hi Nina.

>> (Reason? Lack of funding.)

Sigh!!

OK, one more question.  Is the source available? (eg Word for Windows as in 
the latest 2.7 documentation).  Or do we only have access to the Postscript 
files?

thanks

Malcolm

Hi, Malcolm.  I can't think of a reason offhand why the sources (which are
in Word) couldn't be made available, but I'd better check with the training
manager just to be sure.  I'll report back when I find out.

I just found out that released courses and documentation (in PostScript
format only, as far as I can tell) are available on the Web from the 
MCS Learning Utility (I guess it is pulled from GEL).  

See the information below on how to access it.

designated server becomes unavailable.  

The URL for the Learning Utility home page is:

RE .6:  We can make the TeamLinks course sources (which are Word files)
available to Digital folks with the following provisions:

o  The official version of the course is the one in GEL (also available
   from the MCS Learning Utility)

o  Sources are given on an as is basis, with no followon commitment from us

o  Sources cannot be released to third-party training vendors

If you have a need for the TeamLinks course sources, you can contact me
or Peter LaQuerre at:

   Nina.Eppes@zko.mts.dec.com or Nina.Eppes@ZKO (one of these preferred) 
   BOOKIE::EPPES or ORION::EPPES

   Peter LaQuerre@zko.mts.dec.com or Peter LaQuerre@ZKO
   laquerre@tlexch.zko.dec.com (preferred)
   BOOKIE::LAQUERRE or ORION::LAQUERRE

If a number of people start asking us for the sources, though, we're going
to start hitting you up for funding so they can be updated for everyone! :-)
