My regression tests (COMSOFT) are running fine, but it fails to upload the 
results to the FTP server since the noted date. I have no idea what is 
causing this, because it works when I'm doing it manually.

I think that you're a bit impatient in saying that these results are 
woefully outdated. It's not even a week since the last update. It takes 
more than two day for a full clean regression run to complete. And yes, I 
hope that Tru64 will still be a supported platform after the next release.

And I think it's a bit unfair to start complaining _now_, because these 
regression tests (including HP TestDrive) have been running continuously 
since the RC branch was created, mostly without any problems.

And it would be very kind of you to not simply remove the regression tests 
I'm running without asking first.

Thankyouverymuch,
