Dave> I'd rather not think about that, if you don't mind! There are a number of interesting applications of the software that I've heard of where it's being used in mission criticial places. I don't, however, no much about the success or failure cases of these situations. I'm not going to list specific examples because I honestly don't know which examples are public knowledge and which people would rather not spread their architecture around so I'm unwilling to trust my memory on that and keep them all confidential. -- Wes Hardaker Sparta, Inc. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
