Jon, it meets my *internationalised* spelling vocabulary just fine. with an australian origin it would pass the local spell checker too. It should be proofread a couple of times more though. As to the comments, well, they opinions and it is hard to call them invalid. But I do use it for C# dev and perl/web site deployment, so the claim of being 'java only' isnt true. Its only extensible in Java, but deployment problems are deployment problems, regardless of language. I'd object more to the sites implicit evangelisation of clearcase. If clearcase is so good, why can't it deal with notebooks which change IP addresses? -Steve CM Level 0 and enjoying it. (level 0 = level 1 without the heroic efforts)
