Obviously Jean Ichbiah is entitled to his own view of the 9X process, the 9X product, and the related marketing efforts, but there are many other more impartial, informed observers whose views are worth considering as well. (I certainly don't consider myself impartial, so I will spare you my views.) S. Tucker Taft stt@inmet.com Ada 9X Mapping/Revision Team Intermetrics, Inc. 733 Concord Avenue Cambridge, MA 02138
