Andrzej, I want to add my observations from
SIA Exhibition in NY, which I visited couple
weeks ago. There were three software packages
which could compete with IT. Real TickIII - good
working but developed 5 years ago and looks
ancient not very friendly and originally under DOS.
AT attitude looks a little better but people selling
this service, present it the way I wanted just run away,
they don't tell full price and additional charges come
and come out and its impossible to get full list of
them. And the best one is Aspen. It does whatever
one can imagine. But if IT could create all features
Aspen does, I'd for sure choose IT, because it much
easier and faster to operate. Aspen could be rented for
$150 a month but data feed from S&P comstock
extra, it doesn't have NASDAQ LEVELII (they said
would be added by 1998) and altogether coming to
$350 a month which is way too much. Aspen, I think
was created under UNIX and adapted to Windows
so interface looks a little strange. At this moment, if
to close eyes on price, I'd use Aspen, but dynamically
they have used all potentials and if Papyrus will keep
up, they could be the best within reasonable time.
