Sorry to say (I've read 'em all) there are no further tidbits about this package which is due out on the web Monday. Your take of the evaluator's info was similar to mine. Strictly a tool to search through directories and find commercial software which it somehow recognizes as being non-compliant. It would then either lists the item and how to get in contact with the manufacturer, or in the case of a network connected personal computer goes out and searches the net and fines the url to download any available patch. I wasn't sure if this meant a patch would actually be retrieved or not. My assumption was that this was implied.

So the point is, at best it gives a list of problem software products and some starting point to go looking for a fix, and possibly gets some patches downloaded from companies which have the patches on the web (I presume). This to me is the easy part.

The hard part as you alluded, is fixing all the non-compliant code thats been written in whatever tools the user or programmer had available and built locally. In a phrase "locally developed applications", not a big deal for myself on my PCs but what about all the small businesses that have custom mis systems built locally ?
Zippo.

Monday oughta be a big day. or not.
