Eehm, about hundreds of thousands customized software manufactures around the whole globe? Where not talking about off the shell software then of course, but for software used in a particular corner of a sector. Most prominent types are administration software, although most of them have a common base, implementation differs on your type of: products, customers, location, law, quality and quantity . Say about everything it can differ, ie you don't want to use your high-school student administration program for a pet shop or a cheese manufacture. -- ,ph -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
