I don't believe i said anything about NDA, regarding IPCC, integration is not my problem and i can do most of the scripting, i am not just at a confident level where i can say scripting is a non-issue. if the script are as lengthy and difficult as ipexpert lab then i may struggle and just roll the dice on that portion of the lab. if not with lady luck on my side i should triumph.
