Hello Folks,

At my place we're using NT 4.0 and running version 4.0 of Fortres101, build
306. When I tried to apply the v4.0 fix listed above I couldn't get back in
to Fortres. I'd press the appropriate keystrokes, type in the password,
click OK or press Enter then . . . nothing! I tried multiple times and
talked to Fortres tech support. They'll get back to me. Windows 95 and 98
users, I've heard, are not experiencing this problem. Just NT 4 users.

Tom
