>Francisco this week, Intuit Chairman Scott Cook said the new

>the IBM-led consortium might provide. 
>	 NationsBank has been among companies frequently mentioned  
>as participating in the IBM consortium, but a spokesman late 
>on Friday declined to discuss a Wall Street Journal report 
>that it would be involved in the consortium.
