Subject: Wall St. Curious About Numerical Tech, Inc. (vs Mentor vs Avanti)

Hi, John,

Have you ever had letters dealing with resolution enhancement technologies
such OPC and PSM?  If so, how could I find them?  I am particularly
interested in hearing what people have to say about Numerical Technologies
vs MENT vs AVNT's solutions.  If you could point me in the right direction
on this, it would be helpful.  Many of your ESNUG postings are better than
most analyst reports.
