Is it cured? Back to work on Monday (EGVN) after a weeks well earned leave. Are we back up and running or do I have to go in via the stationery store for more memo pads and chinagraph pencils?

Well, so much for Atlas "Joining Forces" here in the Cotswolds. The first lucky few users now have DII and can't even email across base. The next few months should be very interesting indeed.

Yes, but as the application is still being developed it won't get a DII green light until it is steady state, hence it's unlikely to be 'adopted' by DII.
