Re: [WDSCI-L] RE: WDSC With Aldon's A/CMS

Sorry, Scott, haven't used it in about 4 years. I don't really know whether 
anything has yet done the whole job of integrating iSeries and PC 
development. But I haven't looked at this in long time. When we chose 
TurnOver at this other previous job, I had hopes of good integration, but 
it was not yet necessary.

So not much help from this front.

But look at MKS - they had PC pieces long ago, then (correct me, David, if 
necessary) bought Implementer from Silvon, so they could put things 
together. Might be worth a look.
