Do a quick search on any of the news sites about openmail, you'll find that it's being set to pasture. Rumors are that HP doesn't want to threaten their 'microsoft-alliance' by either aggressively marketing openmail or releasing it as opensource. There are other reason's why they don't want to release it to the opensource community which you'll find in any of the articles you come across. What it comes down to is this, the program is being pulled, and existing customers will have 5 years of support/patches at which point they'll will be on their own.
I did read something about this, I think it was Linux World. That's why I mentioned the current availability. It's really too bad that these companies just can't seem to realize that in the long run there is no real co-existence with MS. They want it all and won't stop until and unless someone (i.e., the Linux community) stops them. At any rate, perhaps there may be some folks who wish to use the pkg regardless, at least maybe for the short term. Has it been removed from the 'net for DL? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- John Karns jkarns@csd.net
