Re: Questions for/about BMR

1. TED, if Vertex only supports COBOL II, what percent of the COBOL out there on mainframes does that cover?

2. The 50 year window you mentioned-- can that be applied to different sets of variables or just as a blanket. Also, does the user have a way to choose the window or does the software figure it out for you?

3. What plan does BMR have to support third-party databases? What percent of all COBOL II systems use them?

I think it boils down to the fact that Vertex does work "as advertised" but that the potential market it would serve is obviously not nearly as large as that covered by a "traditional" Y2K vendor. Nevertheless, Y2K is such a pervasive problem that you can't have enough solutions. (gg)
