* Datawatch (508/988-9700), which sells Virex antivirus software, recently obtained U.S. marketing rights to netOctopus, a network- and system-administration package developed by Germany-based Pole Position Software. Like Saber LAN Workstation, netOctopus can be used to distribute software electronically. Datawatch is supporting existing netOctopus customers, and the company promises a major revision of netOctopus later this year. An interim release, due in July, will allow remote users to run database updates, virus scans, software inventories, and similar functions automatically when they log on. netOctopus costs between $30 and $47 per workstation.
