This statement has a lot of potential importance that isn't obvious.  Using
an international standard method of storing real type numeric data is of
course, superior to using an old, phased out proprietary format.  Does anyone
know yet if HP Eloquence supports the old classic / compatibility real data
type?  If it doesn't, then this could be a BIG issue for any organization
thinking of migrating their applicationt to Eloquence.
