I do not believe the TOOLS facility has been mentioned so far. I can't imagine IBM's rediscovery of the business value of the Bazaar would have occurred without their own experience internally as facilitated by TOOLS, a tool itself. This was HUGE in terms of IBM's continued existence period. The corporate embrace of GNU/Linux could not have happened in 1990. -- [standard good wishes elided out of respect for Sir Mike] Dave_Craig______________________________________________ "'So the universe is not quite as you thought it was.
