Retix made a very keen presentation to my company a couple of weeks
ago.  We are charged with building an ES and an IS and I think
the Retix source code would help a lot.  Has anyone had experience
with Retix?  Particular questions that come to mind are

	Is the source code readable?
	Is it efficient?
	Is the 'example code' worth a darn?
	How about support from Retix? (it costs a bundle!)
	What about overall value?

Thank you in advance for your help.  *Please* E-mail responses to
me, then I will post a summary if there is enough interest.  By the
way, are there other shops in the same business as Retix?  How do
they stack up?

Again, thanks!

Greg.
