I conclude that personally, you are more interested in whether the 
latest Windows code is still working. Well, 1.3.7402 (20041207) 
installed and seems to be working for me. Hard to say more that quickly.

There are a few details that bother me, though. Whenever I update my 
client, I have to tell the installer that I do not want freelance mode, 
and that I do not want DNS lookups, but that I do want integrated login. 
It would be nice if the installer just detected and kept my current 
settings.

What also puzzles me is that my \\afs folder shows all cell mount points 
abbreviated to 12 characters. This looks like a strange remainder from 
the 8.3 filename.ext days. Even weirder is the fact that the client will 
enter a cell if I type just enough characters of its name to make it 
unique, and that all characters after the 12th are completely ignored.
