Yes. I know Angoss. I use some of their software every day, actually, though I didn't realize it until a few weeks ago. Their primary product used to be a complete Office product (spreadsheet, database, word processor) called Smartware. The product was originally written by Informix I believe. It was a character-based product, and was very powerful when written (my software was compiled 2/28/86). I thought that the product was an orphan, but apparently it still has quite a few users and is still sold, with the newest release being Smartware 2000. Most people use it for the database program. The word processor is worthless. I like the spreadsheet because it is fast and easy to use without a mouse, and because I've been using it for 15 years. LOL Apparently Smartware is now down to about 10-15% of their revenues, and the data mining products predominate. Carl
