Why would a company like Inference which already sells its own shells want to buy some more shells to market? What happens in terms of support and future product releases when a company is selling more than one shell that runs on a particular platform? -- Mott Given @ Defense Logistics Agency Systems Automation Center, DSAC-TMP, Bldg. 27-1, P.O.
