>I worked on NEC AFIS systems and can't imagine the fox doing the matching required for hits. Perhaps he was thinking about taking the hits and matching it to bad guy info that local/metro agencies would maintain/contribute to. OR maybe he was thinking about having a hit return a bad guy photo. What movie did that scenario occur (with NEC equipment of course)?

That was The Net wasn't it? Actually, I sort of thought the program was written in C for AFIS and I imagine it's pretty significant too. Finding all the loops, whorls, bifurcations, etc and assigning a value to them doesn't sound too easy to me. However, I've been blown away before. How about Brian Jones Desert Storm logistics app? That's a mind blower. Of course, they have a cadre of C++ guys and then the VFP team as well.

But then again, thinking back to previous Devcons "challenge me!"< G >
