CA new Y2K Tool may be part of the problem
While I know that ALL of the investors in TPRO are here on SI <gg> there may be a few who are out there, isolated, who saw this news and jumped ship. Yes, don't scream at me, I know that COBOL remediation has NOTHING to do with TPRO, but frankly I think there are a fair number of people who don't differentiate. I know if I owned KEA or VIAS I would be looking at CA's tool very warily. Different market or not, TPRO is lumped in with Y2K stocks and this could hurt our market price for a while (I hope most of the investors know the difference.)
ISLANDIA, N.Y., Jan 6 (Reuters) - Software developer Computer Associates International Inc on Tuesday launched a new product it is billing as a quick and accurate fix for the millennium bug in COBOL programs.
According to company vice president Mark Stabler, the product, called CA-Fix/2000, enables customers "to correct entire applications in a fraction of the time that it would have taken to correct them manually or with competing tools."
Computer Associates said CA-Fix/2000 is being offered as a new component to its Discovery 2000 package of software and services for addressing Year 2000 issues.
COBOL, an acronym for COmmon Business Oriented Language, is a programming language that was used years ago to write mainframe-based business applications, many of which are still used by large corporations.
If the PR from TPRO has failed, it is in failing to get the message out to the investment community that TPRO IS NOT "another Y2K COBOL company."
