Thanks for posting this, Peter. I've been at a conference this past week and didn't keep up with the final release as much as I would have liked. 5.8.0 should build cleanly on any VMS system at 5.5 or later (possibly earlier though no reports have come in). There will be some test failures on pre-7.0 systems due to features that are unsupported or inadequately supported in the C run-time. The sheer number of tests has doubled or tripled since the previous release, so don't be alarmed if you have a couple of failures that you didn't see in 5.6.1. Do be sure to analyze and report test failures that have not already been discussed on this list, and do take responsibility for determining whether a particular failure indicates a problem with a feature you can live without or a more fundamental issue. >Thank you very much Craig. My pleasure. Thanks to all who helped turn up and fix assorted problems during the release candidate cycle.
