I take my comments back then, and apologize to Chuck. My comments were
directed at Microsoft based on that company's aggressive and often
unethical business practices. They were made with no knowledge about
the Cobra project other than that which was stated in the original
email of this thread, which purported Cobra to be a Microsoft project.
Microsoft has a very long way to go before regaining my respect,
support, or money.
