Joel,
Which authors are you talking about? The original coders were some
Telecom India employees.
Then it bounced around Vancouver BC, then somewhere in the western US,
then I heard it was in Korea, ...then I no longer heard anything. The guys
that originally had it in Vancouver and then moved it to the western US,
were definitely not programmers, they were just flogging it. They harrassed
me for a while to assess and use it because we were located just a few
blocks away from their office. I took a quick look and then ran for the
hills.
