I'll be lazy and ask you something I could find out myself: Has Narval developed their infrastructure yet? The reason I ask is because Piper can be used as the infrastructure for other systems. We started an API standards group for just such a thing: DNP-API mailing list http://bioinformatics.org/mailman/listinfo/dnp-api Maybe they'd like to join. (Anyone else?) Who is the person you have been in contact with at Narval? Cheers. Jeff -- J.W.
