Good morning,

I've some questions from my exploration of the new version of Helix.

1) Is this officially Helix v2.0? The splash screen says Helix 3. I've seen it referred to as both 2 and 3.
2) Any ideas on why TrueCrypt support was dropped from Helix2/3? The release notes show it being added in 1.9 but it isn't present in 2/3. Not being able to write directly to an encrypted volume is a significant hindrance.

Thanks.

-David

First question is easy …

It's v2.0 but the name changed to Helix3, so it's really Helix3 v2.0.

The 3 has to do with the 3 main missions / capabilities of Helix.

As far as Truecrypt is concerned, I guess it's lack of space ? I think I remember quite a few things were removed…

Greetings,

Ahh! Ok, that even makes sense. Now my reports will make sense, too.

Has anyone remastered Helix3 v2.0 yet? There are some things on there I really don't need, and I really do need TrueCrypt.

By the by, other than the TrueCrypt problem, we've been really happy doing colllections with Helix3.

We are putting truecrypt back in, in the near future.
