Hi All, I've been wondering how many people are actually using all of the features of FIXT+FIX in the real world? Although I like the separation of the session layer from the application layer, in the context of transporting non-FIX messages, and even regular FIX messages if the layer separation was really being taken to heart, I wonder how much of this just makes things more complicated from the perspective of people who are already managing existing FIX engines/systems? I know that even from the greenfield project perspective, for example the VersaFix OSS engine we've been developing, actually implementing the FIXT+FIX stuff can be pretty complicated, so I wonder how many people are actually retrofitting all of this into their existing products - is this really being well received across all the firms that have existing engines and products that are used to dealing with FIX messages from the 4.2-4.4 perspective?
