- I know that the guy who worked on all the problems with the FM
- (binder I am not sure about) is as unhappy about all the bugs as
- we are. He has had a version with a very large list of bugs fixed
- (I saw the list), which would cover virtually all the day to day
- problems we see. Sun froze that version for release as OW3.1,
- unfortunately Sun have not released it yet.

-
- I disagree about the Calender Manager. It has a long way to go before
- becoming a useful tool. All the bits are there it just does not work
- in large environments which try to use Sun's client/server methods to
- the max.
