I did a gig there.)" | |---------------------------------------------------------------------| No, I do not work in a software shop. I am a computer scientist employed as a physicist in the Department of Physics of one of the universites of Coimbra. If you happen to visit the locality, you would be welcome to visit me (though I am not always in the country). Critical Sofware drafted an impressive list of flaws of the bug-ridden Open RAVENSCAR Kernel which though it did not list one of the most important bugs (whih I think might not had been in the version which Critical Software had inspected but which has been in a version which I used shortly thereafter), was an impressively longer list than the problems I had detected myself. I asked for a final report which still has not been delivered to me after some five years. I unsuccessfully applied to work for Critical Software once. Regards, Paul Colin
