Steve,

Again, it was not my intent to belittle the effort that went into PP
and I also agree with you re. the "Mythical Man Month" statement.  In
fact, the first X.400 implementation that hit 100 man-years of developemnt
is still one of the worst!

All I was trying to relay was my perspective on X.400 products.
Granted, that may be limited, but I have evaluated various vendor's
products for the last fouur years.

Please do not take  my critique of PP (public) as a personal
one.  I know a lot of hard work went into the implementation and that
it has many good features..




Cheers,                     %hello
