;) A few years ago I had a very large client - many multi-billions of dollars in revenue annually - that ran their entire custom IT system from a home grown variant of SCCS. It did work, but when I suggested that better open source tools existed, they kindly explained their complete lack of interest in moving several millions of lines of code to anything new. Go figure. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Daneliuk tun...@tundraware.com PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
