RE: Pseudo-EDI in V4.0.5

["Hillock, Chris" <CHillock@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Susan,
Regarding the Harbinger EDI issue...Here's the history...
A few years ago, SSA had Harbinger take over their EDI package (EDISOL,
EDISET, etc.).  Recently, late in 1997, Harbinger bought Premenos
(EDI/400) - the leading EDI package for the AS/400.  Therefore, what you
are or should be seeing are two different products.
