PROBLEMS?
This is a list of problems so far encountered. The list will be updated as and when new problems are
encountered :
1. Vision Services crashes during the final stages of Installation and ALSO every time XVision is started up.
This may occur if the PC has the wrong system date. SCO says this is a known problem on XVision 7 and for
years from around 2035 onwards.
