Harbinger no longer exists.  They're successor, Peregrine, no longer does
EDI (at least on the iSeries) and has been in serious financial trouble.
The iSeries EDI has been sold to Inovis.

So far, Inovis seems like an improvement over Peregine to me.. but time
will tell.   Just trying to keep up with who owns the product...
Premenos/Harbinger/Peregine/Inovis...   it's a full time job just to
change my address book :)
