->I hope this is not considered spamming the group. I just want to make sure
the community has the correct information regarding our product
ExpertEraser. ->
->It is true as Vidström claims that EE version 2.0 lack support for DCO (as
do most competing products). ->
->When we became aware of this weakness (26.04.2005) we investigated, and
corrected the problem. All versions shipped after this friday (13.05.2005)
will support DCO. ->
->Now one could (and should) argue that we should have known about DCO from
the moment it was proposed in the t13 commitee. Our response to that is that
we are not happy with allowing this miss to happen. In fact we are downright
embarressed, and will make every effort to prevent anything similar from
happening in the future. ->
->So, even though we are not proud of our DCO miss, the fact is that
ExpertEraser now supports DCO. ->
