Uhm, SecureWare got at least one of their products rated.  Again, just
something I seem to recall reading somewhere (probably, again, InfoWorld,
although it might have been ComputerWorld [magazines people send to me for
free]).  Wish I could remember.  But I think it was a B-level.  You can't
blame SW or SCO for not getting the C2 product evaluated:  the gov't isn't
going to rate C level products anymore, I've been told, because it's not
worth the effort!

Or because they're busy.  Do you know what the word "slander" mean, John?
Lots of people at *any* company don't post to the net, either out of lack of
time or interest.
