No, I already have the D6.0A release. The FAQ question/answer I quoted in my
previous reply is included in the D6.0A README file. D6.0A != D1996.0.
Another question/answer from the FAQ:
Q9: Should someone wait for the 1996 IPLable version or start working with the
D6.0 or D6.0A versions now?
A9: This will depend on how much time you have, how much effort you want to
put into getting a version of MTS running, and how soon you want to be able to
run MTS. Getting MTS working from scratch using D6.0 will take much more
effort than working with the D6.0A or the D1996.0 IPLable system when it
becomes available. For many people installing the D6.0 starter system from
"tape" is likely to be a frustrating experience. There are certainly bugs in
the D6.0 version that were fixed after D6.0 was released in 1988. The D6.0A
IPLable version should be available sometime during January 2012. It isn't yet
clear exactly how long it will take to make the D1996.0 IPLable version of MTS
available, but it is likely to take several months and possibly longer. Some
people will want the experience of making a version of MTS available from
"scratch" and so will be happy to start working with D6.0 now. Others will
want to skip that work and will use the D6.0A version or the D1996.0 IPLable
version when it is available.
