Matt,
Yes, it's still 12.1. BUT, 12.2 is probably within 5 months of becoming
GD. So the lab would soon follow that, I'd imagine. If I was planning to
take my lab towards October or so of this year, it might not be a bad idea
to know some 12.2 features now. Looking at CCO, 12.1 became GD at 12.1.13
in Feb 2002. But it was on the lab in Nov 2001.....
