Then, perhaps you *MIGHT* be interested in helping with the development of Overflow/Piper. Of course, I'm sure you'd like to see it working first ;-) If you are interested, contact me directly about getting an account, CVS access, etc. on our server. In any case, it sounds like you and Jean-Marc have a lot to talk about. Personally, I'm from the "Loci" end of Piper, and my interests lie in distributed data processing for scientific research. But, I think our mixed-bag of backgrounds will be an asset in the long run. Cheers. Jeff -- J.W.
