Rob,
Thanks. I've already bookmarked the Harris Data site. They were the only
System i vendors that came to mind at the time.

If you google: harris data fixed assets you will get a hit. Notice: Their
website has almost no sales details whatsoever and is basically as useful as
"contact me".
Back in the day we used to pay them for custom mods. Their prices were
quite reasonable and it was hoped that they may, on occasion, believe that
some of the customization be good enough to be incorporated into a future
release.

Yeah, I was thinking about the government rules, too. The last time I
worked on one was when I worked for a software vendor. Seems like every
couple of months there was a new "improved" method from D.C. And guess
who
had to read the rule and the Prentice-Hall explanation and, then,
implement
it? Which is why, though in principle Fixed Assets is "simple", I prefer
a
package that gets updated.
I kind of laughed (to myself, of course) when they told me over the phone
that they only used straight-line. Who does that?! I have a meeting with
them on Friday; perhaps (hopefully) more information will be forthcoming.

Government rules change way too often. Fixed assets was the package we
threw up a stone wall against modifying.
We rather liked the package from Harris Data. I think when we migrated to
a
different accounting package Fixed Assets was the last to go.
We migrated to a different package solely to match our ERP package. But
that was a long time ago.
I've been out of the day-to-day programming and I am more of a sysadmin
guy
now. Never touched the ERP packages Fixed Assets replacement.
