RE: Lansa/MRC Users -- MIDRANGE-L

Hi Richard,

Had a nice 4th.  Hope you did too.

Due to time constraints and learning curves, we used a business partner of
Lansa as the developer.  Worked out well for the XML project and we're
hoping for results as good from the Web project.  I guess it comes down to
time and money.

Good luck.  Let me know if you have any other questions.

Jill
