We have clients in implementation on C/S v6.1. In the current release
order entry is via a screen scraped version of ORD700. Early releases
were alleged to have COM but I haven't seen one. The biggest problem
isn't response. A decent GUI is about a third as productive in terms of
data entry rates as an equivalent decent green screen interface. And the
SSA GUI is far from being decent.
