Jonathan,
I installed the March 2002 Doc CD. It was working ok after installation.
However, at the beginning of June it stopped working!
If I set the clock back to a date in May it works fine, if I correctly
set the date then it fails.
The Documentation launcher works fine, it launches Netscape which
attempts to open 'about:blank' Which then displays a page with the error
message:
"This software has expired Click EXIT to exit the application."
So sounds like the new versions of the Verity Publishing Application now
time out after 3 months. What a way to create work for TAC!
Peter
