Re: BPCS-L Digest, Vol 1, Issue 732

Hello All,

I am a contract programmer/analyst who is looking for either full time work
or a contract.  I have experience in BPCS 5.1.01, 4.05CD, and 6.0.04, as
well as several bolt ons to each of these versions.

I offer experience and competitive rates.  Please contract me off line at
jrmorency@xxxxxxxxxxxx or (763) 546-2137.

John R. Morency
