 Maybe it will catch on so much in Redmond that the guys responsible for their servers, platforms and database get hooked on it too :-) Last time I looked there didn't seem to be anything serious that would run RNC or RNG in .NET though :-( I probably won't get far in my environment running anything in a JVM. RNG guys are certainly persistent though. And thanks for those links to Trang. On 01/03/2011, Evan Lenz <Evan.Lenz@marklogic.com> wrote: > Again, you should look at trang.
