Tony,
Copies of the report on built time estimator were distributed during the SLA
user group conference in Tampa.
Eons ago, I announced in this list that there are a couple of mistakes (like
wrong arithmetic) and promised to make the corrected version available on
our ftp server. It never happened. I don't have a *valid* reason to offer to
the group. I intend to make up for this lapse by
a. faxing the corrected version
b or mailing the MS document (whichever way you choose)
c. and keeping my original promise.
