Re: Synchronization of directories?

[Rik Drummond <[e-mail]>]

Hitachi, CDS, Worldtalk all have directory sync. products that are based on
standards -- when they exist. Other responses have identified other
vendors.

Checking their web sites might be appropriate.

            www.hitachi.com
            www.cdc.com (yes cdc)
            www.worldtalk.com

Hope that helps....later..Rik
