Because of the time that QUERYNM has been out, I would agree with Ken.  I
know before coming to HP, I did the same thing with NM programs as HP did
with QUERY, until I was sure of two items.  The first was technical: was
the program was stable and did it made a performance difference.  The
second was emotional: were the users ready to 'trust' an NM program
(5 years ago not everyone wanted NM code yet).  Anyway, it seems that
both of this are true today for QUERY, so...
