Boris,
thank's a lot for the quality of your information ...
I'm still busy with the registering process but it seams
the best news I got until now !
I'm surprised that finally, there are not more people
requesting the same kind of needs, and the difficulty
for finding information about PFC and EAS !
(for example, Sybase consultants in Belgium never
encouraged me to mix those two worlds) ...
Thank's again
Alain
Thank You also for people managing PFCSIG ...
A mine of information !
