Thanks, there's no show-stoppers for me on any of those sites.  The real
issue was whether VRPC runs OK and the verdict so far is that it runs as
well as it does on Snow Leopard.

Reunion on the Mac is OK, my second priority, but MessengerPro on the
Mac is showing some nasties on the configuration panels, though normal
mail and news seem OK; we've already had one update from Mark Sawle,
sterling support.

I'll give it perhaps 48 hours and then try Lion on one machine only.
