RE: Resolution of IDS/Passport Advantage availability (NOT)

How strange! Here is an excerpt from an email from "Marc E Tousignant/Reading/Contr/IBM@IBMUS" that I recieved today. "While there are plans to make IDS 10 available via the DM Gold package there is no ETA on when this might be completed. No further information is available at this time." Not to stir sh*t up but we have a single person here giving two different customers the exact opposite information, or mis-informix I should say. --- "David E.
