Ok, thats good to know. If you have any information you'd be willing to
share regarding how you set that up, then we'd be interested to hear the
details.

That should have been removed or updated on their web site, following a
recent meeting. I'm following up at the moment to try and clarify this
issue. I've just been out for a couple of days on holiday so I need to
catch up with where this has got to now, but to the best of my knowledge
it is entirely resolved and there is no issue with using GFS2 and Tibco.
