...Kramer's Ergot" number four (Avodah Books; 324 pp.; $24.95), a mammoth example of these new books, gives strong competition to high-end museum catalogues but at one-quarter the price. Avodah Books boils down to one man, Sammy Harkham, a big, bearded guy in his twenties who means to knock you out with aesthetic overload. "Ergot" is not a book to take on a plane to lose yourself in a great story. Many of the contributions couldn't even be called comix and most of the rest have nonsensical, free-associative narratives.

India exports $9.5 billion in code annually--but almost all of it is written under contract for such mammoth outsiders as Microsoft. Hukku, 45, wants to change that. I-flex, which began as a separate business in 1988, sells a range of products under its Flexcube label that help financial-services companies manage banking, credit-card and other transactions. It's a competitive field, dominated by firms like Temenos and Misys, but i-flex has customers, including the American Stock Exchange, in more than 90 countries.
