Re: UIM Help needed

[Al Mac <macwheel99@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You might ask this question on the BPCS-L discussion group since the help 
screens and menus in BPCS are written using UIM.  Now I have had no formal 
training in UIM.  Seems to me UIM is conceptually similar to HTML except 
UIM is simpler than Internet languages.

If there is a particular package your new shop is using, no doubt there is 
a discussion list for that.  For the version of BPCS that we are on, 
security is not through UIM but a chaotic collection of systems whose 
central theme is security by obscurity, but bolt-on is available to make 
sense of it all..
