[WEB4LIB] Re: Fortres Hack on the Horizon??

[Julie Castelluzzo]

Glenn,

I disagree. The site mentioned does not look like an official Fortres site
to me. Otherwise, it would have a Fortres Grand URL (www.fortres.com). 
Another clue: The programmer is listed as "st0rmer". Also, no mailing
address, phone number, or price listed for purchasing the product.
