Hi Derek,
I think this is the wrong forum to ask - this is the Rational ROSE forum, we usually discuss things closely related to Rose. Maybe a Robot forum exists? Rational's web site has a page of links http://www.rational.com/support/usergroups/index.jsp that could be useful. The RUP usergroup could be an option as well.
