Ralph, what's your point?

And before that, Symantec is NOT providing updates.  Symantec and I are in
dispute because IBM moved its Software Choice personnel from Austin to Denver
and then again.  During that time they lost and then found my subscription 3
times.    What's more Symantec runs, as I understand it,  can not be
scheduled. as could IBMAV.  

To be precise I got absolutely nothing for the $350 or so.  Netscape has
always been free and was not part of either the IBMAV subscription nor of the
Software Choice subscription.   The same can be said for fixpacks.

Finally note that I pledged $40 for PMMail/2 v. 2.1 (although so far I have
not found anything new)  Also note that I never put BoB or Ikon or Tom
Bradford
 in the same category as IBM, nor would I.  I happen to believe that
Thomas is a great successor to BoB and Ikon.

Again, what's your point.
