Actually, 807 marks itself as 5.8.2... 806 is 5.8.1, and may be compatible
with 5.8.0, but I'm not sure. Reading the release notes for 807 tells me
it's going to be incompatible...
I'm working on making it easier for me right now (writing a script to build
the PPDS, distributions, etc for me, without having to customize it for each
combination/permutation of builds.). I'm currently making the assumption
that 5.8.2, no matter which AS build number (807, 808, etc) within that
range, will be binary compatible. That will work for now, but may change.
So, I will eventually have an outgoing/DBI/5.8.2 directory that will contain
the PPDS and I'll announce here. I *may* go back and re-build a 5.6.1 and
5.8.[01], but I'm not sure. That's the best way I can see me handling it
here. I'm also becoming tempted to put it up on the http protocol, rather
than ftp, so that I can add an index of some sort...
Either way, it should be up around the new year, as I do have a few short
moments to spend on it...

Jeff
