You know, your request has a sort of juvenile, "I know you are, but what am I?" kinda sound to it. But, as I'll never stoop to your level, here goes . . .

1. I don't know.

2. I don't know. Though I do recall the CEO of Zitel, in the face of great Matridigm angst, stating that the street was showing a clear preference towards windowing, and away from expansion. With the great magnitude of business out there, ALYD doesn't need expansion capabilities, now do they?

3. I don't know.

4. I don't know. Though I do know that they, LIKE OTHERS, have completed a project in a timely manner, had it tested, and had it put back into production. Do you have a RELIABLE source on the error rate for CSGI's tool?

The most significant part of my response to you is my honesty. Unlike you, I don't expound upon that which I don't understand. Instead of making it up as I go, or even worse, making negatively slanted guesses . . . I simply tell the truth. I am not a programmer by trade (and, obviously, neither are you) so these questions would require some homework for me to answer, and I DO MINE . . .

. . . now do yours!

BTW, your responses to my post are . . . where?

Re: Tech's questions.

1. The answers are contained in ALYD's whitepaper on their web site. By George, who would have thought to look there? alydaar.com.

2. From a press release (also on the web site):
Alydaar has recently been awarded Year 2000 agreements for four insurance companies, two banks, and three brokerage firms. The Company has an on-site factory at one of the insurance companies, where it is using the expansion solution for remediation, and is also using its windowing solution in its Charlotte factory to remediate software programs for that customer.

3. See 1 above.

4. Error rate is way better than 1 in a million according to a talk Bob Gruder gave at the CR Conference.

Your turn...

Dear Tech,
In post # 3356, you wrote:

"What is ALYD's error rate ? That is, for every 1 million lines they
convert, how many errors do they expect to have?"

Do you know the error rate for any Y2k company so that a comparison can be made? Is there some kind of industry average or standard? By error rate, do you mean all the lines of code sent to a vendor or only those that the vendor modifies? Thanks in advance.
