BTW:

Jock,

It seems to me that somewhere in this thread a request was made for a comparison
and not a recommendation.

This clarification (if correct) will benefit my reply to these messages (I
promise not to make it to lengthy :-D ).  Our shop has put in many 100's of man
hours, studying these issue for DoD and EOP, et. al.

As well as other Transition and coexistence issues.

Peace,

Eric Williams
