I asked for feedback on this list and, with a few honourable exceptions, I received none. There were only 120 (+/-) features. I asked for people to support or reject or expand or otherwise comment on the list, and I received very little help indeed. There is a limit to what I can get done for you, and I can't promise that anything will happen on this or any other issue, but I could resend the original (100k) message again if people are interested in looking at it. Your feedback might help. Yours, Jonathan Leffler (johnl@informix.com) #include <disclaimer.h>
