And, FWIW, this project existed well before IBM released their linux client. Darn ... I've had a similar discussion in the past when someone was questioning why MIDRANGE-L existed when there was a perfectly good newsgroup available (of course MIDRANGE-L existed before the newsgroup did). Moving back into the shadows... Over 30 years with IBM, NCR, UNIVAC, etc. and the who was there first continues. What fun technology ideas, as if we haven't cloned and experienced ( via code ) the unknown. Kanda
