Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Fri, 16 Jan 1998 11:24:58 -0500 From: Robert Withrow Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk scrappy@hub.org (about Insure++) said: :- I just had a discussion with one of their guys...his "solution" was to :- get a copy for Solaris and run it on one of my systems at work I've been around this ring with them also. We actually bought a bunch of licenses from them, for a bunch of systems. They had an "experimental" BSDI version for a while, but it didn't run well on FreeBSD. The product itself is not bad, but they have a rather strange marketing model and a "weird" licensing architecture. :- I'm going to look at Purify next... Which is a really nice product. I've pinged them about FreeBSD support periodicaly. The licence fee for this is worth every dollar. At work we buy s-loads of stuff from them. I'd urge anyone who legitimately would purchase a FreeBSD version to call them and ask for it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Withrow, R.W.
