Well, how does the Merit version handle it then? Unfortunatly updating
the way that our whole customer base logs in would be, well, pretty well
near impossible. Could you give out the patches for SCP under Merit now
rather than waiting until a release (under the understanding you wouldn't
support them etc etc etc).. I just need a way to make this work :)
