Dean is SO right here. At my last job we were running SSA's BPCS and a BUNCH of
their "Alliance" products. Throw in Infentium (S2K) and Silvon's Sales Tracker 
the
library list got TOTALLY full. The worst area was our Financial area because 
these
folks used all products at the same time with query tools, etc.

We ended up (I did the coding) creating CL's that removed/added-removed/added 
libs
on the way in and out.

As for what a vendor could do - pick on SSA again - it was RIDICULOUS that they
had no method for loading all of these products into several libraries rather 
than
the 25+ they used (since they market this stuff as a complete offering type
deal...).

JMHO,

Chuck
