Re: Client Access Express Question -Reply -- MIDRANGE-L

Actually, the screen shots look like Synapse NetWolf and/or Synapse WinAPPC
because Synapse wrote the original NetSoft 16 bit software and licensed it
to NetSoft who wrote the APPC router to begin with.  

You might also see a striking resemblence between Synapse NetWolf and
Attachmate Rally!, DCA IRMA/400, Connectronnix WinTronnix, and Micro
Integration 5250 for SNA because all of these products were originally
written by Synapse.  Synapse engineers were originally Software Systems,
Inc. in the early 1980's and then they founded Emerald Technology oin 1984
which was later acquired by Andrew Corp (1988) which was spun off into
today's Nlynx/DecisionData.  Sounds increasingly complex but consider:  how
many really top 5250 oriented enginerring groups actually exist anyway in
the AS400 world?

A bit of historical perspective,
