William, thank you for your comments. Just so I understand: - Which "20% of capacity" bit is ignored? (for the next round of testing) - If you would "junk it and start again", what would you do? (maybe we can benefit from your ideas) - Which documents are you referring to? (FAST specs, specs for a specific feed, ...) - Could you be more specific on the imperfections? (would be useful for the next round of reviews) - Which sample application are you referring to? (I assume you are referring to a specific feed?) - Which feed are you implementing for? Let me know it there is any specific info that we can provide you with. BTW, what's your company affiliation? Best, Rolf > What can I say except yes - it it clearly way too complicated.
