Thanks for the link, but I'm not sure it's that, they call the thing I was saying here as "International Logistics Standards" and it has to do with how you calculate the profits etc. If you use other system (as is still done here by many companies) you get other data that may "hide" the real picture of the economics of a certain business (see hype and bubbles). Eventually all will have to switch and use the so-called international logistics standards whichever those are (it's more of a certain way to do logistics, not some thing necesserily related with software and informatics). However I may have understood wrong all this discussion here and it might be related more or less to XBRL too ---------------- George Birbilis ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Computer & Informatics Engineer Microsoft MVP J# for 2004-2006 Borland "Spirit of Delphi" ++ QuickTime, Delphi, ActiveX, .NET components ++ http://www.kagi.com/birbilis ++ Robotics ++ http://www.mech.upatras.gr/~Robotics http://www.mech.upatras.gr/~robgroup _____ avast!
