Randy,

I understand the issue here, but I put in that option to
see how many people were planning on moving from their own
webserver written in ITK, to Active4D and something else.

The assumption being, moving away from ITK would entail
getting it out of the system completely. If the 4D
Webserver  + Active4D were the only option, how would a
third-party product that supports Active4D fare in this
market.

I.e. is it worthwhile for a third-party alternative to ITK,
and is it worthwhile for the proposed product to support
Active4D?

Also, Active4D only supports the Webserver, or ITK. 4DIC
does not sufficiently cover the server-type functionality
and async performance necessary to support Active4D. But
I'll let Aparajita chime in here if I'm wrong.

Unfortunately, the format of the 4DToday survey system
prevents me from elaborating further. And I didnt want to
run two seperate surveys. I'll post the results and see
what comes of it.
