Mark, thanks for a thoughtful and valuable post.  With one minor
exception, I generally agree with what you say.  My exception is
to the part that says we can't search the IntraBuilder area of our
web site; we can.  Maybe that was not true at some point, but,
I said, this is very minor.

As to the more important parts of your post, I have made many
of the same observations.  I also hace seen the newsgroup traffic
in the IntraBuilder groups decline to the point where it is not
nearly as useful a forum as it had once been.  You are not the
only person to mention that the lack of response to questions
about the future of IntraBuilder is having an impact on people's
impression of Inprise in general.

I have not yet heard any statement we have on the future
of the product.  I have been prodding those here who
create such statements, to come up with one.  Most of the
customer  requests I have for such a document, I have gotten
from  these forums.  Yours is among the clearest, most
well-spoken  of the messages I have collected.  I will add it
to the head of my list, and pass it on up the chain.

Thanks again for posting this.  When I have some word to
share with you regarding the future of IntraBuilder, be
assured that I will let you know.

Bill (Inprise)
