What I never figured out is how a product like this could have more than a small window of usefulness, before the main product's company (IBM) incorporates its advantages. Sometimes the window is bigger than we expect - it took time before IBM decided it wanted to keep the sort business. Sometimes the window is naturally small - by the time Microsoft got disk compression, that model had run its course. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
