        We just found a Fortres101 bug at Henderson. We were plagued by
'Segment load errors' in WordPerfect and traced it to the fact that Fortres
was dutifully trying to protect network drives as well as the desktop; hence
WordPerfect, which was on the server, couldn't get through properly when
printing or saving. Fortres is aware of this and is rewriting their product;
I thought you should be aware of this interesting link between Fortres and
'segment load errors.' We recommend Fortres101 highly and their tech support
has been very responsive.

>     Hi! We don't have this problem when using Fortres 101. In fact, we
have had 
>     very little problems with this security solution, and the price is right 
>     (less than $500 for any number of machines in one building--they do make 
>     exceptions for branch libraries).

>     knowledgeable individual, and using policies have problems also.
