A few Axiant questions...

[Michel Adam]

Nah, I just downloaded the whole archives, and let Copernic index the lot 
on my hard drive. Still not much
info, and the silence on the list is deafening... on par with the red tape 
at my workplace in getting this
greenlighted.

I did search high and low for a document explaining the new features of 
Axiant 3.4 vs. 3.1, but
can only find a very stale page on the Cognos web site about the new 
feature of version 3.0.  Was there ever
a 'new feature' document put out for 3.4 ? If so, anyone has a copy they 
could email me?

Thanks
