Our comments crossed in the Intertubes. <smile>  But as a follow-up, the 
one situation I might have tried was the interface to our Java server.  
We do a lot of fire and forget transactions, which would simply be a 
quick series of writes to a file rather than what we do now, which is a 
bunch of calls to an API.  For example, we do email that way, by setting 
the various parameters.  I could see replacing that with writes to a 
record format.  But that's not really giving me a ton of ROI, and I've 
already spent my R&D budget for now <grin>.
