On the other hand, my Dad was contracted (forget if it was his consulting firm or through DEC Software Services) to write some software for Los Alamos Nat'l Labs years ago, which was basically some sort of inventory database. Even though he had a "Q" clearance (fairly high -- though I don't know the whole classified system), they never did (or would or could) tell him what the "items" his database had to keep track of were. So, there's non-disclosure where you can't tell, and there's non-disclosure where you don't even _know_! -- "Trying to do something with your life is like sitting down to eat a moose." --Douglas Wood
