Lars Marius,

I'm aware of TMAPI, but we've been waiting a very long time for
there to be any finished document. As you'll note, the last
modified date on that web page is November 2001. Prior to
abandoning my own efforts in favour of using TM4J, I'd originally
hoped to see TMAPI become a reality, and even had included class
files for it.

Has TMAPI's status or version changed recently?

Thanks,

Murray

  "The [GM] report says only half the people that took part - and
  remember, 99.9% of the population did not - had some concerns,"
  said Paul Rylott, of the Agricultural Biotechnology Council (ABC),
  which represents biotech firms like Monsanto and Bayer CropScience.

  Rylott is obviously willing to lie about his understanding of the
  use of sampling in statistical research in order to distort the
  simple fact that only 2% of the UK public are happy to eat GM food.
  What else is he willing to lie about? Don't we have a human right
  to uncontaminated food and water? People in the US don't generally
  even *know* that they're eating it, as no food labeling laws have
  been able to get past the biotech industry's hold on the Congress.
  If it's going to be forced on us by a corporate-controlled govern-
  ment, let us at least be able to avoid eating it.
