  Tom, Kate, Josh, Mary -

   On our summary viewgraphs from the Chicago meeting (page 35)
<http://www.fusiongrid.org/work/meetings/ord-200108/chicago.pdf>

one option listed is writing to MSSQL via MDSplus. Is
this the same as Josh's number (3)? If not, is this still
an option? My memory from the Chicago meeting is that this
was our best option if the Globus on Windows is delayed.
