[Spread-users] who's using it and what are they using it for

[Schwenk, Jeanie]

I'm researching to determine if spread is a reasonable alternative to
tibco's rendez-vous message bus.  

What I would like to know from everyone on the list is:
	who is using spread
	what environment is it being utilized in
	what you think of it - the good AND the bad please  
	anybody tried the support from Spread Concepts LLC

I work in a semiconductor manufacturing facility that runs 24x7 so
reliability, uptime and error recovery are the lifeblood of this department.
We currently use tibco to deliver the messages between numerous hpux
servers, a couple databases, about 50+xterms, unlimited pcs, and all the
processes that perform the manufacturing process including spc data
collection.  Obviously there are numerous entities that use the message bus.

Thanks in advance.
