I wasn't part of that discussion, but the items I've seen presented here so far have nothing to do with quality, and everything to do with user expectations. As a developer / admin, I expect all tools that Sun ships or claims to "support" to fully support all Solaris functionality. If I am given a tool to synchronise files, and not warned about its deficiencies relative to Solaris support, I would be one very unhappy customer when it didn't work as expected. -- Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/ "To err is human -- and to blame it on a computer is even more so." - Robert Orben
