I spoke to our local Legato rep about this right before Y2k and he was
a wealth of "don't know yet" answers. He was sure they would have an
"upgrade" program for exisiting customers, but not for a
while. Apparently they are going to avoid an EOL for Budtool until the
end of '00 and still sell it as a separate product until then.
In the meantime, they are supposedly integrating Budtool into their
standard Legato framework. He made it sound like Budtool would be a
module as part of their usual stuff. It sounds like the folks in the
field haven't heard yet because they haven't figured it out at the
Legato homebase either. He suggested I contact his inside sales
person, but I have not done that.
Summary: nice soothing noises, but no real information
