- Be *VERY* careful with this type of product. They almost always make
- use of undocumented/unsupported entry points. Call tech support and
- ask what their reponse will be if there is corruption or a load failure
- ( e.g. "Bummer" ) this is the same response you will likely get from
- the third party vendor.
-
- PS Always make sure that you run a dump with data changes going on
- and also bounce the server at odd places. You will be amused by
- what comes out from those type of tests.
