Steve, have you looked at any that have data agers, date simulation,
report and data comparator functions? [The full interrelated testing type
package.] That is about as mainframe as you get.
If that is the case and you still feel cost & function are better built by
your firm to use/market [whatever] then of course you should make the
investment of development time. Time against deadlines beinga key factor
