string needed to contain the entire list the most obvious would be a -52
status returned by DBGET, since the list would probably contain what IMAGE
would consider to be an invalid data item name.

If you mean that the length of all the items in the LIST presented to DBGET
is longer than the BUFFER allocated to hold them, you'd have a classic case
of buffer overrun, and anything up to and including a program abort is
probable. [...]39_3Apr200217:02:[log in to unmask]

Investment advisory firm's relationship to HP questioned

By LINDA ROSENCRANCE
(April 05, 2002)
An investment adviser has accused Hewlett-Packard Co. of misleading
shareholders by failing to disclose its business relationship with a major
financial backer of Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. ISS is an
influential institutional investor advisory firm that supported HP's merger
with Compaq Computer Corp.

In an SEC filing, Warburg is listed as being a general partner in ISS. And
three of Warburg Pincus' partners, Mark Colodny, Pat Hackett and Sidney
Lapidus, sit on the eight-member ISS board of directors, according to SEC
filings.

Warburg and HP are both investors in several ventures, including:

Santa Clara, Calif.-based software company WebGain Inc. Last year, in the
second round of funding, HP invested $10 million in WebGain. In a previous
round of funding, Warburg Pincus invested $62.5 million, according to
IPO.com, which tracks the financing activity of emerging growth companies
across the public and private equity markets.

San Jose-based application server software maker BEA Systems Inc. Warburg
Pincus is an investor in the company and over the past three years, HP has
invested $100 million in BEA to jointly develop a range of application
integration and component software aimed at helping users quickly build and
deploy electronic-commerce applications (see story).

Dublin-based Eontec, a developer of Java-based banking software. Last year ,
Warburg Pincus invested $25 million in Eontec. HP and BEA are Eontec's
partners.
The relationship troubled analysts and business ethicists who said any
connections between HP and a major financial backer of ISS should have been
disclosed to shareholders.
