I guess most of the remaining offending apps were written in C: as much as 96% ?!! (including basically all of microsoft's stuff!!) Surely the least secure language of all time !!! Note also that no vulnerable apps were written in: - cobol, rpg3, prolog, ada, scheme, lisp, pl/1, occam, modula-2, or MIX We're planning to roll out our next enterprise ecommerce grid as a set of modula-2 plugins to cobol-based container controlled by a dynamic gridded application matrix written in prolog, all running on highly parallel lisp machines. ;) john ___________________________________________________________ All new Yahoo!
