This entire issue has been _resolved_, publically, at _least_ twice. The common resolutions were : - maintain the status quo for now. - work on developing an improved structure concept and management tools for properly handling the variant components of the system. It seems that people find it much easier to puff up their egoes by _arguing_ about the terrible state of current affairs than actually _do_ anything about them. > Until the decision is made about the way forward, however, then > much of the talk here is moot. The decisions have been made. What is notable is the absence of any initiative on the part of the plaintiffs with regard to anything beyond their narrow, kneejerk agendas. -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
