>>>1200, which is great for a non-launch year. On Wednesday night, when Brian Jones showed off JFast, he asked how many had not seen it before. About 1/3 of the hands went up. I talked to several people who were attending their first DevCon.

>JFast is an application used byt eh US military to handle the logistics of major deployments, like Desert Storm and Kosovo. It allows the military users to project multiple plans for deployment and play them out on screen to see their effectiveness. The amount of data handled is astronomical (imagine all four military services and all the bases and locations in the world with all of the materials required, everything from socks to missles). It manages land, sea, and air transportation. It coordinates commercial transportation with military transportation.

Is JFast a VFP application ? Sorry, I didn't attend DevCon.
