Jean-Marc,
Thank you for responding. I have been to the Sharepoint user group
and found many reasons not to use it. Mostly, it requires a Windows
server license, it has a large foot print, the user community doesn't
seem a helpful as here, it is not very easy to control/manage who
versions what, and I could not find anything about setting up hooks.
