erpdude8 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 It has been nearly 8 months since Gape has released version 2.1a of the 98se service pack and we have not heard from him for a few months now. I hope he is okay.if anyone wants to contact him try emailing him from his 98se service pack page:http://exuberant.ms11.net/98sesp.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erpdude8 Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 now it has been almost TEN months since version 2.1a of the 98se service pack was released.I hope Gape releases the new version of the SP before the year 2006 actually ends and the 98se SP project is still active.on the other hand, I read in the Win2k Hotstream forum that the unofficial Win2k SP5.1 project has been put on hold:http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=82148 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristols Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 (edited) what's the hurryGood question. Unless you have concerns about being able to uninstall the pack (I believe that the uninstall INF files contains errors - or have I dreamt that up?) - but why would you want to do that? - and just as long as you don't find it too much trouble to keep up with and apply the updates listed at the 9x updates thread, then USP 2.1a is great, and continues to serve you well.Personal opinion alert: I tend to think that Gape will not finish a new USP. I'm guessing that with other things going on in his life, keeping up with the project and giving it his full dedication is becoming harder and harder. Again, I don't know this, but it's my guess.This is not to say that I think that a new version will never appear. I think it will. But I think that it won't be completed by Gape.By the way, I hope I'm proved wrong - it would be great to see Gape deliver a new version. But in a way, it doesn't matter who delivers it, as long as a new version is delivered that meets the high standards that Gape has reached with 2.1a. And as I said above, USP 2.1a can still continue to meet our needs, up to a point. Edited September 13, 2006 by bristols Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLXX Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 He's probably still working on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobkat Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Hopefully he is working on a new release and will complete it. He then will deserve and and get credit for much hard work and if he wants, can past the torch to someone else. It would be nice if he would leave a message so everyone will know his plans.

erpdude8 Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 (edited) i agree it don't matter who brings it just bring itexactly, PROBLEMCHYLD! I hope some people like Big Monstro dont ask in the future when the next release of 98se SP will come out. if anyone else wants to b*tch about that will have to answer to me. the next version is inevitable but we all need to wait patiently for Gape to release it.
