I'm not sure that we are at point where it is necessary to backoof
comletely from providing some access to 3rd party software based upon
the limitations of the current License managers.  There are several
other ways to solve this problem.  You note the wrapper issues but
there is also having the vendors solve the limitation to mention at
least one other.  

It does sound like this needs further discussion.  Naomi are you going
to convene another meeting?

	Thanks......................................Dan
