Tom,
I believe he meant the Upgrade Manual, Conversion Manual, and all the
Addendums to the various releases, which easily total more than 600 pages.
Don't get bogged down in terminology, Tom; what the Dr. was talking about
was the amount of study and experimentation that must be done before one can
do an intelligent conversion of a large legacy application from v2003 or
v2004 to v11. In that regard, I believe that his representation of the
situation was accurate.
With all due respect: there seems to be a disconnect between Developers and
Customers on v11. Developers think it is the best thing since sliced bread -
but it seems that Customers like Dr. Bernstein, who must work with it every
day live, real-time, 24/7, are not so sure...
Reminds me of the joke about the customer who walked into the used car
dealership and said to the salesman: "You sold me this car. Would you mind
telling me how great it is again, because I get so discouraged when it keeps
breaking down."
(grin) An exaggeration, but it makes the point.
