RE: BPCS support alternatives

[kmiller@xxxxxxxx]

Martin,

Is this true?  As/Set is going away maybe?

Other things like this came out of the conferece and hit this list.  Like we're
going to charge for source code.  Where can users go for OGS other than SSA
etc...  I think we need to address these issues but I do not know what is all
planned so I find it difficult to create a response.  Is this something we
should work on together?

Menon:

I'll send you an offline message regarding this.

SSA also announced at the BPCS Conference this week that AS/SET may be going
away...
