We are moving business premises this weekend and have got a number of new
PC's. We are running 2000i on a Netware server. Should I continue to use
7.9 Client or is it safe to use the latest client 8.5? I will be upgrading
the server engine to 8.5 in about a month.

Which version is on the NetWare box? If you have Service Pack 4 with the
HotFix updates, then you should be able to start right out with the V8.6 client
on the new workstations. If you have an older engine, though, you definitely
want to patch it first, or upgrade it to PSQLV8.6 at the same time. (The older
PSQL2000i could experience database crashes if accessed by a PSQLV8 client, so
this is very important.)

Thanks for your reply.
We are using Netware 5.1 SP4 I don't think there are any later 'Hot Fixes'
applied. I decided not to take a chance on using new stuff and used the
existing 7.9 SP3 clients

Thanks & Regards
