Thanks for the response Scott. I really hope today hasn't gotten you in any hot water with the new owners / management. I also hope that they are listening to what the users of your products (some for a few years) are saying.
The Declude products have been a great part in me being a Systems Administrator. They are easy to use, well supported and if you can't find it in the manuals you can always as hundreds of users in this mailling list. You have gotten Declude to where it is today and sure there could be some room for improvement but taking it slowly would be a good approach. I agree with John in saying that maybe a beta test would be the best thing. Definitely not how things panned out today. I tell you, if I get more spam because of the information I had to fill in to get this update......just joking! Jay ----- Original Message ----- From: "R.
