Nipping? Nipping!! We're an elephant dammit, we don't nip. And they're a dolphin, so they don't have heels. Now an elephant would trample underfoot... Except they'd be in the water, so that wouldn't work. We could hide their fish! But then they'd probably steal our supply of peanuts. Hmm - this business writing is harder than it looks isn't it. Anyway, we've nothing to fear from Ingres IMHO. Unless of course they get a mouse mascot... -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd
