Well, some people have pull, and get pre-release beta versions.  I'd say

Carl Sagan rates pretty highly.  If it works well for him, maybe it'll be 
released for General Availability.  I'd be afraid to use it though - if 
it's buggy, it'd be REALLY tough to recover......  And I don't even what

to THINK about ILF and ALF!  (Talk about an incentive to stay current!)

History of MAPICS and the Universe - part #3.... 

Well, after Carl Sagen got started, he discovered a new feature in MAPICS, 
called COM_Net (Cosmic Organizational Management over the subspace 
etherNet).  After he found our about COM_Net, he installed that and had 
the 
various civilizations around the galaxy (all the beeellions and 
beeeellions of them) enter their own information, saving Carl enormous 
amounts of time and money.  This eliminated a lot of bothersome clerical

effort and paperwork, not to mention speeding up his cataloging of the 
data.  Unfortunately, Mr. Sagen found that COM_Net doesn't run on Linux
- 
he had to install Windows IIS (Incredibly 
Insecure Service), but you can't have everything. 

Later, Mr. Sagan installed MDCC (Majorly Dynamic Cosmic Collector) to 
automate even more of his data collection, and that improved 
his processing even more.  Using MDCC, he was able to have his loyal 
interns, students, and associates update his PCC (Primary Catalog of the

Cosmos) databases using laser scanning and other automated data feeds. 
This 
saved him even more time and money in reduction of paperwork and clerical 
function. 

Overall, Mr. Sagan has been very pleased with the continual progression of 
his MAPICS software, as it kept pace with new developments in technology, 
and the needs of his sophisticated projects.  The expanding capabilities

and applications within the MAPICS umbrella allows him to run his research 
facilities more efficiently, and he is able to fund even more research 
with the savings he has gained from effective use of MAPICS.  He is 
especially eager to move to the new Release 7 of MAPICS, and it's 
conversion to the much more efficient Java (Journey Around Virtually 
Anywhere) interface, which will allow him to expand his research 
capabilities considerably, and not have to invest heavily in expansion. 
The new Java-based Release 7 of MAPICS will make it even easier for Mr. 
Sagan to tie in his various sites and research partners.  Full 
implementation of MAPICS Browser with ERP Essentials (Extragalactic 
Reseach 
Protocols) will make research and collation of data faster, and more 
effective.  He will save even more money in the long run by being able to 
utilize thin-client technology.  He is slightly annoyed at the continuing 
delay of release of all the Java components, however - especially the CSM 
(Cosmic Space Management) and Integrator functions.  However, he is hoping 

for good news at the upcoming 
Interstellar MAPICS User Conference regarding this, and is also eager to

hear what else is new!

OK - there's my turn - next?

Carl Sagan was the first person to use Mapics to inventory the stars and

record the stock locations of life - Warehouse Earth, Aisle USA, Bin 
location Illinois...   His only problem was identifying the batch/lot 
numbers and FIFO dates.  And of course the need to upgrade his AS/400 
for CSM (Cosmic Space Management) and IFM (Inter-galactic Financials) 
due to increased ALF (Alien Life Forms).

MAPICS -  A 'mfg, acct, production, inventory, control system' , i.e., 
an ERP solution for mid-range mfg companies which runs on the Iseries 
(old 
as400s) 
First owned b IBM, then Marcam, now Mapics Inc. Mapics has been around 
since 
79. With billions, and bilions (dejavu, believe we went thru this once 
?) of 
users throughout the galaxy, (even the star ships run mapics). 
Of course everyone is going to MAPICS, and the whole supply chain 
strategy, 
and tactical implementations will be so much easier when everyone is 
finally 
committed.  ( to MAPICS, that is). 
Sooo get going, while you can still get support !
