	Don't go there! J Clarke's place of work has been backing themselves
into a selection of lock-in traps for decades AFAICT. Many of them involving
tight dependencies on Microsoft products. They *need* Windows and I doubt
they could get out from under (even if there was a desire) without breaking
the whole thing in the process. Mr. Clarke seems to think this is a good
thing, several of us disagree but it's not our problem and they seem happy.
