IMHO being associated with any early CA stuff would be an embarassment esp
if it went under the name PC Support.  The failure of that product is what
spawned the non-IBM marketplace in the first place.

Lineage:

The main Synapse enginner is Joe Frank who was a senior architect of the SSP
operating system (S32, S34, S36, AS36, M36, S36e) when he was with IBM.  He
fooled around with an "idea" in the late '70s to come up with 5250 emulation
and the Emulator File Transfer (ETU) program which was originally sold by
IBM before he formed Software Systems, Inc. (SSI).

Synapse engineers first were SSI and then Emerald Technology.  They split
off into Synapse when Andrew bought Emerald (which later spunoff to become
Nlynx/Decision Data).  As Synapse Joe and his team wrote many of the early
5250 clients for NetSoft, DCA, Attachmate, Andrew, Connectronnix, and
others.  They also have a presence in Europe and Asia.

Synapse helped David get midrange-l archives online in the early days of
midrange.com
