Well, I get to use a functional language at work quite often: Prolog. IBM's Tivoli product line includes a product called TEC that can correlate discrete "abnormal" events that have been sent to it. This correllation is done using a Prolog variant (BIM prolog). It's a lot of fun and can really leave me unable to program in a procedural lang. for hours or days after. jcv
Looking through BT's site and at Scipher, too, I can find no mention of such a suit going forward. You would think that BT would make something of it, or at least scipher would. I also note that the patent holder is the GB Post Office if I read the information in the link correctly. I can't find the AFX news source either. Wierd. Ominoor - the Inhuman (aka LurkerAbove)
