Hey, I resemble that remark! I have created a large number of specifications, and I've seen many more. Mine, of course, are clear, legible and make sense ;) (AND they come with warm, homemade chocolate chip cookies) I've also seen one page of a sample file (invalid) sent as an "IG".

However, I think you underestimate the depths to which "I/T" and "academics" are involved in the creation of these specifications*. If people could just learn that "EDI" is a *business* language and would get the geeks the hell out of the process we'd all be better off. Michael C. Mattias Tal Systems Inc.
