Along the way I have heard of a product that did this. I am beating my brains 
for the name but it isn’t coming up. Having said that JES2 seems to go through 
a complete rewrite every few years and it may not be feasible anymore so they 
may have dropped this feature. IIRC it was not expensive but I think the last 
time I looked and this was 10+ years ago they (the product) snuck things in and 
if you didn’t stop the use of it, the product had you hook line and sinker it 
was just impossible to get out of production as there was no equivalency out 
there.
