I signed up last night and it was mentioned in the files that I downloaded
that I would have to wait until I was contacted by those running Hawaii before
I could race.  On average, how long does this take?

That message is incorrect.  You have immediate access to Hawaii now.
Sorry for the confusion... we'll fix the note ASAP.

I don't think there is a waiting period.  I created a new account just
the other night and it gave me access immediately.

Ed, You can change dgm26sam to David_Martin and remove dgm26sam if you
want to.  This would save you record space in your files and would
preserve my rating.  The rating isn't important to me.  I know I'm not a
zero, but for those drivers running against me right now.  They desserve
to know I'm really a 4. Just a thought.

Ed,

When is 1.34M going to be the standard multi.exe version.  I downloaded
a new hawaii.zip file last night (because I couldn't find it on the net,
hint, hint), but it still keeps trying to download 1.33M to me.  I won't
revert to 1.33M because that version always boots me out at the S/F line
when the race is over.

Also, could someone wake sure that the "file creation/ modification
date" is changed when you put a new version of hawaii.exe on the
internet.  Your website says May 14, 1996.  And the date of the file on
the disk says May 16, 1996.

Thanks,

David Martin

What is the difference between the May 14 version and any later
versions?

David -

Multi was updated to V1.35M last week.  We're expecting V1.36M to be
released this Tuesday, 7/2/96.  Both V1.35 and V1.36 should work on your
system if V1.34 did.

Apologies in advance for the repeated downloads; we're working on setting
up an in-house web server, but at present there is still likely to be about
24 hours delay between updates being posted on Hawaii and their being
available at the Sierra web site.

24 hour delay?  Unless I'm looking in the wrong place, its Tuesday 7/2
and last Tuesday's version isn't on the net anywhere.  I'd say the
delay is 7 days and still counting.
