I'm pretty suspicious of this e-mail. Proactive Systems, from whom *we* bought
Fantasia (not "LARC Computing"), was pretty serious about documenting their
customer accounts. JetForm *bought* Proactive Systems and I doubt they *need*
their customers to "verify" their customer information.

To me, it sounds like a scam to get a mailing list of Fantasia customers for
some competing company.

Further info:
        IGC.ORG is registered to the "Institute for Global Communications."
It's web page (www.igc.org) shows that the IGC is a pro-peace/human rights/
/ecology/labor/women's movement.

Hardly a place for a commercial query from "LARC" or JetForm, which has its own
domain name (jetform.com).

I was going to send an e-mail to igc.org to see whether this "gorfinkel"
account is on the level, but I have to leave for the day now. If someone sends
them an e-mail, please let the list know the result (if nobody does so, then
I'll do it tomorrow after I get the list's digest).

Cheers...                       Marco Zamora
