RE: VAI

[JRPerkins@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I'll start by saying I actually work for a company that sells VAI, but I'm 
not a salesman so I won't give a sales pitch.

VAI's website is http://www.vai.net. They offer a pretty nice GUI side as 
well as the normal green screen stuff.

Most of the code does look like converted RPGII stuff. It's a pretty solid 
package though.

With their newest release they have a lot of reports that you can convert 
to spreadsheets so a lot of users like that.

If you need any more information feel free to let me know and if anyone 
would like me to pass on contact information to any of our sales people, 
feel free to contact me off this list.

James R. Perkins
