We need a bit more context here. "BEI" can refer to: BEI Resources -- a source of chemical tools to study various diseases. BEI Engineering-- a company the produces position sensors BEI Construction -- an electrical design firm BEI Hawaii -- an agricultural product firm etc. "BI" has even more multiple definitions. Define your terms and we may be able to give you a more definite answer. ---- I Go Back to Sleep, Now. OGB	[reply]

Forgive me my ignorance, but what is the "BI open source project". Is it about "Business Intelligence"? And if so indeed, what is "BEI"?

My guess for 'BI' was 'BioInformatics', but I'm still in the dark on 'BEI'.	[reply]
