Re: Native Conversion to AS/400

[Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>]

This makes me wonder.  Everyone is demanding Y2k compliance certification 
and/or testing from their vendors.  How about a disaster recovery plan?  Does 
SSA have one for BPCS?  Can other software providerss that you do business with 
meet these conditions?

I don't know about that.  I don't remember the contact information, but there
was a company out of Canada called "Quantum" that would externalize your
display and physical files for you (not without some work, but it was GREAT).
They had a fire several years ago and lost much of their work, but they may
still be around...
