[*SNIP*] Glad someone mentioned this, I too suffered some paranoia over this file today, when I checked into SunScan's home page, it still lists v1.2 as current (as of 3pm 04/30/1999). A PGP signature would have allowed me to roll out this new version and rescan our servers and Solaris boxen today, rather then waiting for sun to post the new version to their web site. check out http://www.sun.com/y2000/sunscan/ for this beautiful product. -Nick Crawford -- Nicholas P.
