In my response to the survey I pointed out that most of the problems relate to "incompatibilities" between products by different vendors. If IBM finds ways to do this better it will benefit even those of us who don't use IBM products (I looked around; the only IBM product less than 10 years old in this lab is a mouse pad left by a sales rep.), both by raising standards for other vendors and by putting pressure on other vendors to improve interoperability. Who knows, they might even come up with something we would buy. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | George N.
