- I remember doing the same thing, but it did not help. I eventually left
- the company as the toolkit were were forced to use was so bad. How bad was
- it?? We paid over a quarter of a million dollars to develop it for the
- company whose toolkit it was. As soon as all the engineers left they
- dumped the toolkit and the company that "developed" it went out of
- business shortly thereafter.

- We had signs up all over our cubes saying how much we hated this product
- (I won't even say who did it or what it was, cause knowing the guys
- involved they are bottom feeding on the net looking for a juicy lawsuit,
- cuase they can't program to save their lives.) And we never got fired for
- complaining about it, but then we still had to come into work every
- morning and deal with it.
-
- Oh well each corporate structure is different.
