It was, certainly.

Clearing the decks for a 'Cease and Desist'. IBM can hardly issue one if some of its own documentation seems to sanction Hercules. It's come a bit late, too - back in Autumn I posted that I expected it in mid-February, but I guess lawyers get paid by the hour. Biggest amusement on the Hercules lists at the moment is Phil Roberts trying to get me banned from the FLEX-ES list for posting a link to some obscenties. The Hercules crowd are big on censorship of dissenting viewpoints. He doesn't appear to realise that the original was not only written by one of his Hercules cronies, but it's still in the Hercules archives. Physician heal thyself. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hercules-390/message/16259 is the original. Tells you more about the Hercules effort in one post than a year of reading would do. -- Phil Payne http://www.isham-research.com +44 7785 302 803 +49 173 6242039
