[daip] VLANT with 31DEC08

[Amy Mioduszewski]

Hi Julie,

We have gotten several reports of VLANT not working on Macs.  Sometimes the 
problem is that there is a Mac firewall that causes VLANT to abort when it tries 
to get a file from the internet.  Could you look in your /tmp area and see if 
the baselines.vlais09 file is there?  You might have to rerun VLANT and check if 
the /tmp area has been cleared.
