This triggered a random thought: Could IBM reserve a specific SES product ID like 9999ZZZ1 or something like that for local packages, and provide us with a "shell" SES package that we could use to generate our own SES component install packages? It would be really cool to be able to package up handy user-written stuff and have it managed with the same processes and tools as the IBM stuff. If so, how to do this would make a *killer* WAVV/zExpo presentation for someone from the Endicott packaging staff.... Colleen? Somebody? -- db
