About ten years ago two of us went to Chicago to check out Coherent and it looked pretty solid then. Alas, we decided to go for a proprietary O/S instead. In those days Mark Williams Co. was a bunch of hackers working out of the back of a beer sign factory. I haven't heard much about Coherent since then. -- Dave Bullis Cognos, Inc VOICE: (613) 738-1440 3755 Riverside Dr. P.O.
