<br>
as I talk to various companies in the course of my regular business I have come
repeatedly across the need and interest in "Express-Driven Binary
Data" and wonder where we are going with this. Will we have sufficient
attendance at the upcoming SC4 meeting in Lillehamer to work on it some more?
It would help me in my travel planning and justification if I knew that at least
some of you would be there.<br>

Happy Holidays,<br>
