Seeking FACTS 6.07 original media + Feb 1999 monthly from Channel Partner community

We inherited a client running 6.07 from an affiliate that is no longer in business. The affiliate did not use the normal convention of renaming original code to .ssi and putting the modified code in the mods/prog directory. We're working to upgrade them to the latest FACTS version but we need:

1) a clean base copy of the original shipping 6.07 before any monthlies were applied
2) the Feb 1999 monthly

to properly compare code to see what modifications were made and to use when merging to the latest FACTS code.

Based on date-time stamps, I estimate there are about 400 modified programs.

Infor does not have such old copies available.

Ideally we'd like to have all the 6.07 monthlies in case we run into a similar situation for future clients we inherit, so I'm asking for those in this message in case other channel partners may be purging their copies.

The monthlies we do =have= are these:

1998 Sep
1998 Oct

1999 Apr
1999 Jun

2000 Apr
2000 May

I do not know what other monthlies exist.

Can anyone help out with at least the base 6.07 code and Feb 1999 monthly?

Todd,
We may be able to help you. However, channel partners are using various techniques to try and promote upgrades. We are now charging 6.6 and 6.7 customers a support accessment fee. This leads to some customers trying to find alternate support firms. Are you certain that the customer worked with a defunct channel partner? Gary R.

Todd,

I have these monthlies -

1999 Sep
1999 Dec

I don't have the base code other than the demo which appears to be with the final May 2000 update.

You're welcome to any or all of it.

We always try to work out fair deals with clients to get them to upgrade; we'd rather have their business than send them to an alternate support firm. We don't charge a "support assessment fee" but our regular rates to perform a comprehensive analysis of their mods. We then review each mod with them and they let us know if they need it brought forward (sometimes mods are for business practices they no longer use, for example). We try to get them to use standard FACTS whenever possible.
