The gssklog could also be used with the Globus GSI, as well as Kerberos,
so it of interest to some, even if it does not become part of OpenAFS. I was
going to add some option to get a token if the gssklog.exe was present or something. 
First I want to beable to build and install.

Thanks, I figured something like that.  I have 5.5, and it got part way then
complained about some international support not being present. I got
a little further saying that the install was only English, but it did not
Finnish either. (I might be missing some international options of 
InstallShield.) So I figured I would ask the question about what's in the CVS
before trying to debug what I had.

Joakim Fallsjo's .net sounds interesting. I also have a InstallShield 7.01 
but thats also two yesrs a old too.
