Joe,

Can you give a few brief examples of how this capability supports KM. Sounds
like a lot of work has been done. Recently Eugene Kim provided a link to the
web showing progress he is making. Is your work similarly on the web
somewhere? Does it relate to Eric's specs for the OHS, or to Doug's letter on
001025?

Thanks.

Rod
