Sure. We are using the full range of DesignCenter Products, including
me10, me30, egs, eds, pcds and so on and so on. I run the mechanical side
of things, and we now have about 45 me10 seats and two me30 seats.

I'm not certain about the electrical side, but they have at least 25 egs
stations (using SRM wkstation and HP Pascal). They also have a few each
of the pcds and eds stations.

I would be very interested in hearing from other sites on the net using these
products, as it seems the majority of the customers are not very well
connected (Internet-wise), and we have had MAJOR problems getting proper
hp-ux and networking support out of these products.

Just last month I got an update to me10 which allows it to deal with nfs.
This is more than one year since hp's nfs was released. Still can't
get off the rfa stuff, though, since I don't have a similar fix for me30 yet.

Does anyone out there know whether the unsupported mdd macros for me10 and
me30 are available via anonymous ftp from somewhere? If they are not,
and there is sufficient interest, I could probably come up with a server
and make them available.
