Just to help people understanding German saying:
"have to eat the soup" is the literal translation of the words, which has=
lost completely the meaning of what is actually said.
A somewhat more freely translated version would go more like: "have to wo=
rk through the crap"
Cheers,
Frits.
Ps. To my dislike, our latest 'tender inquiry document' for the upgrade o=
f one our DCS systems was riddled with references to Microsoft Windows.

Hi list,
Here's an extract from a document that forms a general requirement to all=
DCS vendors for one of our customers:
>Configuring (programming) the PCS for control loops, cntrol strategies,=20
>controller tuning, mathematical functions, table formats, trend=20
>displays, graphic displays, reports or any other standard function=20
>shall be possible using a standard Microsoft Windows PC and Microsoft=20
>file formats.
I'll not disclose the name of the customer here, but it's symptomatic for=
the market. That's why Unix is not the preferred OS anymore for our prod=
ucts. And the tech people "have to eat the soup" (german saying) resultin=
g out of this.
