RE: [SYS21] System/21 Survey -- SYSTEM21

Yorkton's an "investment dealer" ... almost looks like S/21 is on the market 
(no big surprise there, since I'm sure Geac was surprised at the state of the 
product once they gained control of The Company Formerly Known As JBA.).

Has anybody else heard of any rumors to this effect?
