RE: SOMEbody reads...

["McLauchlan, Kevin" <Kevin -dot- McLauchlan -at- safenet-inc -dot- com>]

Hey, for a while that included me, too.   I was sure that my efforts
never saw the light of day (or screen) once they were released. It was
so gratifying to find even one person who actually gets some use out of
them.

I did say that I don't know what happens OUTside the company, but given
how often the Support folks have to quote my docs to customers, I think
I can guess.

Cheers,

Kevin
