RE: OmniFind product question

["Needles,Stephen J" <SNEEDLES@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Vern,

You seem to have found the PTF hole for me.  I asked our admin folks and found that we are indeed behind on the PTF's for this specific product, despite the fact that we are up-to-date on the cume.

Thanks to all of those who contributed.  I'll write an update when(ever) the PTFs get loaded and I can restart the testing.

It is very possible that the OMF PTFs are not on a cume -it'd be worth a 
search for "omnifind" in the PTF cover letter database and see if any of 
them are listed as being on a cume.
