Hello from Gregg C Levine Since the both of you, Adam, Chris, have commented on this, I'll post both here: Adam, I'm leaving out of this discussion Oracle, Chris, I also left out TSM, and IBM's DB2. Basically I was thinking of the system as a whole, before we start installing our software for the users. Or in the case of TSM for ourselves.
It seems we do agree on some things. --- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- "Remember the Force will be with you. Always."
