[KSB] Jim, there has been no recent change to GT.M in this area, so if you like the application code you are running, stay with it. As I recollect, UC Davis is running a web based paperless clinical system at one of the world's largest veterinary medicine teaching hospitals with the database on a dual CPU 1.3GHz Pentium 3 machine. So your code is obviously doing something right, and if it ain't broke, don't fix it. -- Bhaskar ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ Hardhats-members mailing list Hardhats-members@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/hardhats-members
