    Might have to wait till after the show to sort, as no doubt Andrew will be headed to London I suspect by now.

    I have just ordered it myself, so will see what arrives.

    I can now confirm my download was also 5.57, sounds like Andrew uploaded
    the wrong update to !Store in his rush before the show :-(

    I have sent him an email.

    It is a paid for upgrade! Have you purchased it via !Store

    It will not be in Packman.

    Thank you.

    Having found the Catalogue update button and sorted by Supplier I've now
    found it.

    Ever day's a schoolday. Another lesson learnt.

    I'm confused. Not an unusual state. :-)

    A couple of years ago I seem to recall an effort being made to tie up
    the version numbers for NetFetch and Hermes. So, I read that there
    was an upgrade to V6 NetFetch and made an assumption especially as
    the blurb talked about latest server requirements. I have never
    actually used NetFetch as such, I just use Hermes.

    So I splashed out u20 for an upgrade and yes I downloaded the "b"
    version but my best endeavours cannot see any differences in Hermes.

    Have I missed something other than never "assume" ?

    Cheers,

    Bob.

    There is work ongoing I understand on Hermes per Andrew, but the main
    changes were this time in the Front End "NetFetch", to bring it up to the
    new requirements for setting up accounts and improved configuration of
    usenet, etc. plus the latest AcornSSL module which now support TLS 1.3

    Andrew did preview the changes at the October WROCC pre-show meeting.
