Question

[Nancy Palmquist]

Jay,

My guess is they own the filePro stuff - except the fpGI part.  That was 
built under some other agreements.  I am not sure if that was ever 
brought into the filePro fold completely.

They were never big on collecting 3rd party stuff that would have 
enhanced the product but would require royalties of some kind.

Nancy
