- I -think- that a valid FSSM and a valid DosEnvec vector (obtained from
- the FSSM) are always in RAM and thus only check those two entries with
- TypeOfMem. So far haven't run into any problems using this method.

- Assuming that non-zero-values means valid FSSM -WILL- cause enforcer
- hits in many cases. This is what I was originally doing and my inquiry
- about a "better" way started this thread.
-
- Four letter ASCII???? Ack! Randell didn't mention this as a valid
- possibility in his original reply. Can anyone give me some examples of
- devices which use this?
