Re: Lansa vs. Plex

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

PLEX is the new name for Synon/Obsydian (remember IBM's strategic

another, and BCD (www.bcdsoftware.com) claims a 2001 SHOWCASE Product 
Excellence Award for 4 years in a row. I've never used it myself. Anyone 
remember Genesis from Sofbro?
