Thanks Roy. I monitor several linux conferences; but I have been
out of the army for many years now and the gutter languages of
Joe Barr et al makes me question the usefulness of some commentaries
When I am shopping for a new tool I try to use the experience of
other users to select a tool to satisfy my needs, rather than some
marketing program to sell, sell, sell.....more, more........
Ciao, Ack
