To All, We have recently had questions on the relationship if any between Topro and Btree. From an EE Times article, we were informed that the two were in some type of alliance. Having studied the BTree from their web site, I felt that they had a good approach to the embedded problem. To satisfy this question I e-mailed Mr. Jenkins tonite and received an almost immediate answer. Here is my email and his reply.

>>2 major articles were written on year 2000 problems world wide....one was in the Wed. edition of the International Herald Tribune and the other in Mon or Tues. USA Today, not a single word mentioned that a company like TPRO is in existance or working on solutions to the problems covered......can anyone explain this???? << TPRO needs to get the PR aspect of its business in higher gear. Toyko Mex is correct that Scott is just not sufficient. Y2K is beginning to get big time press now, but very few people are even aware of the "embedded chip" problem and its implications, let alone the largest company working to fix it. Also, we have to remember that TPRO is a very recent newcomer to this business. It takes time for the word to get out. The company is probably so busy dealing with work and closing contracts that it has little time for anything else. I'd be surprised if management is not putting in 16-20 hour days.
