Re: Synon -- MIDRANGE-L

Srinath

Synon is no longer Synon, today the 2/e product is called Advantage 2/E and is 
owned by Computer Associates.  For a while Sterling Software named it Cool:2/e 
which, of course, not many folks thought too much of.  There are still a number 
of companies that use it in various degrees.  At Extol (the edi company)  the 
majority of their iSeries product is written with it 3 years worth by me.  
Where I am today about 5% of the applications use it.

Computer Associate's support site is http://esupport.ca.com/  but the knowledge 
base is behind a registered site http://esupport.ca.com/index.html?StarTcc as 
well as an open forum http://esupport.ca.com/index.html?OpenForums.  You should 
check if your company has been paying the maintenance for the product.  If so 
you'll be able to register for access.

I don't know of any dedicated lists for the product.

Good luck,
Bill
