Ah, that is correct. Intrabuilder does (sort of) put them in the
Javascript business. Still, should this be a major direction for
them? I tend to think not. Now, maybe if they could hook into
Netscape's Visual Javascript environment and leverage some
value-adds to that, they might have some possible revenue.

I just think there's no point in trying to be a Javascript vendor.
Java development is a rich environment with a need for some really
hot tools. Javascript is much less rich, with less of a need
for tools. The current "tools void" for Javascript is probably
going to be filled quite nicely with Netscape's tools, and/or
anything Microsoft includes in their Internet SDK.

Speaking of the 'Sleeping Giant', the settlement terms for the lawsuit over MS's recruiting of BORL was completed without disclosed terms. I didn't notice if anyone was able to dig and get a feel for what the terms might have been. Seems the issue was just dropped. Sure would be nice to know that we got more than a pat on the head from MS.

TIA,
