Yes, it has. Given the initial promotion of the Multinet approach, it
would be nice to know what changed. I wonder if VSI hit a fundamental
problem which stopped Multinet from being a compatible plug-in option
for TCP/IP Services ?

As Jan-Erik says, there is none (apart from the release notes) as
far as I am aware.

That's something VSI should fix as soon as possible (even if they
just alter the existing manuals to match the current version).

It doesn't exactly present a good image as things stand...

If the Multinet documentation is indeed still on the VSI website,
it should probably be removed for the same reason.
