<<snip CASE discussion>>

BPCS -- Most components in V5+ written in AS/Set.
JD Edwards -- Many components written in WorldVision.
MAPICS -- Newer versions use Synon.
? -- Don't know of any major products written in Lansa (was once told that if
I hated AS/Set, I'd _DESPISE_ Lansa), but COMMON's web page was developed with
it.

To my knowledge, smaller packages have been developed in AS/Set and Synon, but
I just don't know about the others.  AS/Set (just as it was taking off with
the BPCS implementation) is no longer available to the public-at-large.  Being
a BPCS person myself (see BPCS-L at www.midrange.com if interested), I can
unequivocally state that there is a dire shortage of AS/Set-BPCS talent --
especially those that know SQL which is also a required talent in this area.
I cannot speak to the other CASE tool areas...

HTH,
