If you are a consultant, you should be prepared and capable to give advise in the area of development and maintenance. That should include tools which increase productivity. Also, there is also the opportunity to price a fixed bid based on the time it would take without the tools, and split the difference with the client. This would give the client a price break and you a rate increase. Unless, of course, you have trouble filling the hours saved. > ___________________ > Kathleen Kostuck Chris Rehm Mr.AS400@ibm.net How often can you afford to be unexpectedly out of business?
