My note on "...there is a lot of information missing..." refered
to the original post in *this* thread. Not to the OpenAMQ for
VMS blog page... :-)

No. I have no personal interest in OpenAMQ. I just saw the page
because it happend to have the same authors as the gSOAP for
OpenVMS blog/port that I happend to have in production use
since mid-December (works *realy* nice, calls are made from
an Office2003/Excel/VBA application and it has been running
without any troubles at all about a month now. Another story).

Sure, I never ment to make any remarks about that...
