Good day, Henrik.

Others have already tackled the env size question, but I'm
curious as to how you ended up with a couple of hundred unique
applications in an ASIC environment.  I've seen a few different
environments over the years but none of the companies have had
more than twenty-five applications (give or take) to support.
Multiple versions, to be sure, but one wrapper usually took
care of that.

Just curious!
