Mark: Sorry, to be more clear: We are looking for customers who would buy the product if it met their needs (e.g. performed the way they wanted). That is, we are looking for customers with real interest. Oracle did not produce a developer release until they had a LOT of firm customer interest, and the same is true will almost all ISVs we have worked with. While a port is for the most part just a re-compile, there is a LOT of testing required before any vendor will ship a product. Regards, Jim
