[WEB4LIB] Cybrarian vs. Fortres/Cooler

[Floyd Ingram]

Donovan, etc.,

We have Fortres installed on our OPAC and Electronic Reference Center
workstations.  It works fine.  We block access to the directories and
Windows 95 Start menu.  On some PCs, we prohibit saving to diskette...oh,
saving to harddrive is not allowed on any of the public PCs.  On a few PCs,
there is a glitch (error) that occur during logon that caused by a problem
between Fortres and Lantastic.  I haven't used any other security
software...so I can't really compare.
