IMHO being associated with any early CA stuff would be an embarassment esp if it went under the name PC Support. The failure of that product is what spawned the non-IBM marketplace in the first place. Lineage: The main Synapse enginner is Joe Frank who was a senior architect of the SSP operating system (S32, S34, S36, AS36, M36, S36e) when he was with IBM. He fooled around with an "idea" in the late '70s to come up with 5250 emulation and the Emulator File Transfer (ETU) program which was originally sold by IBM before he formed Software Systems, Inc. (SSI). Synapse engineers first were SSI and then Emerald Technology. They split off into Synapse when Andrew bought Emerald (which later spunoff to become Nlynx/Decision Data). As Synapse Joe and his team wrote many of the early 5250 clients for NetSoft, DCA, Attachmate, Andrew, Connectronnix, and others. They also have a presence in Europe and Asia.
