Fusion was owend by Pansophic which was last purchased by Computer
Associates. I have a customer that uses the CA- PRMS (Pansophic Resource
Management System) that contains a few purchasing reports written in
Fusion. When we moved them from a S/38 to the AS/400 and from an E50 to
a 310 they got new version from CA. The system requires run-time support
as well as special development (real pain to use though) that is model
specific. I believe the S/38 version was not observable as well so you
will functionally as well as legally have to contact CA ($$$$) for a new
version.
