Re: Fwd: PilotManager

[Mike Flanery Sun District SE Manager - SI Region <Mike.Flanery@Central>]

I concur with most people on this alias-- i.e., I am incredibly 
GRATEFUL that Bharat and Alan have done the WONDERFUL job they
have. PilotManager is not perfect, but it is without a doubt the
BEST Solaris-based Pilot tool. 

It is only because of PilotManager and therefore the ability to sync
my PP with my CalendarManger that I purchased the PP.

As to Klaus' comment-- I'm running Solaris 2.6 and use Perl from 
/usr/dist with PilotManager 1.106. I have NO PROBLEMS!

Thanks again guys for all the hard work on this great tool!!

Mike
