The library I'm working at just upgraded to Windows 2000 and the latest
Fortres. We've been having problems based on figuring out which
applications (such as Adobe Acrobat Reader) need to have access to the
write to the hard drive. You can set that up in Fortres but it may take
awhile to figure out which programs have to be listed in the Fortres
permission set-up.
