How is your TP going to know what software you are using? I for one think the who Drummond certification is a bunch of crap. This reminds me of the uselessness added by the UCC a decade ago. I have implement AS2 for many of my customers, and while the question may be on a survey, is there any way for the TP to really know? If it works then it works. cjg

Realistically, how many organizations would be able to provide 'certification' that their software is compatible? As far as I know, Drummond (the writers of the AS2 standard) is the only organization that do this testing (for an exhorbitant amount of money). If you search www.ebusinessready.org, you will find http://www.gs1us.org/ <http://www.gs1us.org/> Of course a search on GS1 for AS2 or ebusinessready on their site results in no matches. This is yet another example of BS 'certification' that results in no additional benefit other than confusion.
