The latest released version of CSuite only works on RedHat 4.x
systems out of the box. There is a tar file with patches to make it
work on RedHat 5.x on the FTP site called cs-rh50-1.tar.gz. A new
version of CSuite is currently under development. It is running in
beta at csuite.tc.ca. You are welcome to try it and give feedback.

to release a patch for the Y2K problem.

If people are looking to do a Freeport to CSuite conversion, they
should contact me privately. I did this two years ago and have a bunch

Freeport menus to webpages {developed by another person locally}, and
scripts to convert Freeport users to CSuite users).
