Re: Tuning TrendMicro's DBSCAN

Rob:

Well, you are one up on us. We are on R5.0.8.01, so all of those fine R6
features are not available. However, since you mention it, I think that I have
been looking at this issue as strictly a Trend problem. I think that now I
will pursue this as a Domino issue, and lobby for R6. Sometimes the trees are
so dense (or me), I really can't see the forest. :-)

Thanks.
