It has a most unusual build procedure. It didn't work for me and I could not 
easily find out what went wrong, so it failed my first test for competence in 
a project.  That said, it is used as the engine underlying some very complex 
commercial products, upon which many hundreds, if not thousands, of people 
rely for their daily bread, so I hope for their sakes that it isn't totally 
bad.

I have since got hold of a set of CDROMs & must get around to giving it 
another chance. Thanks for reminding me.
