Re: Re[2]: CA/400 Win95/NT V3R1M3 - Service Pack SF50480

[Jerome Draper <jdraper@xxxxxxx>]

Synapse has released a new CA/400 killer app called NetWolf.  Unlike
CA/400, it does not gobble up your hard drive with bloated, unnecessary
software that starts unnecessarily when you don't know about it.  Neither
does it freeze up, lock up, or drop out.  It's simple and it works on all
version of Windows (3.11, 95, 98, and NT).

Synapse always test their software before releasing it because the
engineers run the company.  They have a strong track record in this
business dating back to the first emulator ever built in the early 1980's.  

IBM has divided CA/400 into two discrete packages.  One part is bundled
with OS/400 and thus available at no additional cost beyond OS/400.  The
other part is the one most used and the one most complained about (see
below).  It costs money on a per seat basis ($275 purchase, $55. upgrade)
as well as an annual service fee.  

For all the problems CA/400 causes there must be a better way and IMHO
Synapse NetWolf is it.

(Claimer:  I sell, support, use, and enjoy Synapse products.)
