I can't seem to get at the original anymore, but we talked to Dr.
Soparkar, and is posted a 'followup' of the article to:
http://linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2001-04-16-009-21-PS-EL-HE-0038
Since I can't seem to get to the original on dqindia.com, I can't comment
on what's changed ...

[HACKERS] Another news story in need of 'enlightenment'
This one probably needs the 'iron hand and the velvet paw' touch. The iron hand to pound some sense into the author, and the velvet paw to make him like having sense pounded into him. Title of article is 'Open Source Databases Won't Fly' -- http://www.dqindia.com/content/enterprise/datawatch/101041201.asp He seems to be ok on some things, though. -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11 ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
