Re: Implementation

Mr. Ash,

I also like the idea of a standard software machining environment.  I think
the NIST concept is a fabulous one and would like to be able to use it
sooner than later.  And like you, I "hope to someday use the available OS,
and give input to the development".  

However, given EMC's current state of development, I think I'd rather pay
for the cost of service and support.  Unfortunately, neither is available.  

And all of you have my opinions regarding user-required compiles, testing
and debugging.

So, like you, Mr. Ash, for the present, I think I'll just be reading and
rooting.
