Re: Please advise (language / direction)

[Richard Wilson <arw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We have also moved to Lansa from the Synon/ Cool:2E environment.  Lansa provides
the GUI functionality you need - on a mobile phone if needed (Check stock from
your phone whilst at the fashion house....)

As a LANSA business partner we have also developed a toolkit product for the 
port
from Cool to Lansa, should you require it.
