Followup on July Etrust discussion

[Alan Fiebig]

Julian,

Just as a gentle reminder now that your vacation is over, here are a couple of posts regarding the good pricing offered to us to use Etrust Inoculate. Right before you left on vacation you felt you might work on supporting (wrapper and update) for this product. Just wondering if its still on track, I'm very interested in this solution. Thanks!

-Alan

Sorry I haven't had a chance to look at this. It's unlikely to happen
before August now as I am going to have to live without bandwidth for most
of July (on "holiday", whatever one of those is...). I guess it's a bit
like being in hospital and hence not having a PC, but there again I had a
laptop then and our local hospital has networked workstation rooms in it.
This "holiday" thing is going to be a very strange experience :-)
