If it's not entirely relevant, then it's only a question of degree between what you propose and the TPC. -- Bye now, Obnoxio "C'est pas parce qu'on n'a rien ' dire qu'il faut fermer sa gueule" - Coluche A smile is a gift that is free to the giver and precious to the recipient.

Rhetorical question. How many businesses run TPC modified or otherwise? And how many of those modifications to SAP/PeopleSoft/Whatever actually affect the core functionality? Zero? >>Some value is better than no value. > > But that value is still not entirely relevant. And just how relevant is > it? For my particular customer or business? How relevant is TPC? Why don't you stop waffling and address the point that something is better than nothing and TPC is an expensive nothing. A fear of the numbers getting out into the use community? > If it's not entirely relevant, then it's only a question of degree between > what you propose and the TPC. Something is always more relevant than nothing. If I install SAP and make modifications I can evaluate the relationship between the SAP tested and the functionality I modified. I can hold my breathe until I turn blue and I can't relate TPC to anything other than a marketing fraud. -- Daniel A.
