The relevant question is, how many independent software projects are there for this thing (or _all_ auto related RT projects) and how large are they? It has nothing to do with "there are a bazillion of these things out there in cars" (all of which may be driven by a _handful_ of software programs from anything you or anyone else here has said). /Jon -- Jon Anthony Organon Motives, Inc.
