    I asked Dorothy to provide some supporting details. She said in a one-line 
    reply: "I wish I could, but we are not yet going public with any more 
    detail." Previous message:

    Declan,
    
    The geo-encryption stuff I'm working on now has nothing to do with
    location-based authentication and the CyberLocator technology, which I wrote
    about earlier.  It is not designed for tracking people and that is not a
    purpose.
    
    Best regards,
    Dorothy
