Encryption & digital signatures

[Richard D. Williams]

Don,

Why are you not utilizing the web for this app?

I know you said your just starting out, but you can eliminate so many 
problems by not using the distributed software approach.
Also, all those fp runtime licenses. Server side control. Not doing this 
job twice. Lower development cost to your client.
