have you actually talked to people who had code run at matridigm? i have and whether or not they chose to do business, none complained about the quaIity of the returned product sample. Can we have some names of the "people" ? Regards, Rajiv

Dear satchmo, Someone informed me that the famous CA newsletter hypester's latest fax ($9.95, of course) on Zitel says that when they merge with Matridigm, they will be combining to equal 100%. What happened to BRCP's 12.5% ???? This whole merger deal was "leaked", once again, to the principle promoters and stock sellers. You have to hand it to them. It did its job in raising the stock from around $10 to recent high of around $17. That's a pretty healthy growth rate -- better than most real companies on Wall Street. Merger makes no sense for Matridigm if they are already successful. No private company that is already making gobs of money wants to go public. You go public to raise cash. A merger only makes sense if the Matridigm employees are complaining that Zitel is the only ones making money on stock, and they want some of that loot now before the jig is up. I remain, SOROS ps the above is pure speculation and garbage from the mind of a batty old man

Satchmo, I don't know who you spoke to that claimed to have gotten 1/2 of a million lines of code converted in an afternoon, but I can gaurantee you that they did not have that much code fixed and tested in an afternoon, a day, or a week. Most of Matridigm's products are a series of macro's that help a user identify potential problem areas in a body of software. Other macros can allow for the global replacement of existing code patterns. That's the easy part. Testing and verification is the bulk of the work and it is IMPOSSIBLE to "automate" that part of the process. Do us all a favor and talk to your source again and ask some detailed questions about what exactly was done with the source code at the "factory". It would be informative for everyone on this thread.

Hello Satchmo: You have taken on a well regarded name-sake. Please put tooth to your generalities. In the corporate world, if you offered such 'evidence' to me, I would fire you on the spot. I am being blunt for a reason. Those that take on the form but lack the substance, for two thousand years now, have been called hypocrites. I see nothing in your message to believe as you represented. There is no substance--simply unverifiable claims. And that is the stock and trade of hype--the truth is removed from fair assessment. Now I will play Truman: "Show me!" Regards with belaboring patience, mdr
