At least we won't have to listen to the shorts rave about Peritus anymore. From AOL: Subject: Re: A few contracts? Big deal Date: Sat, Mar 21, 1998 22:51 EST From: JunkYard71 Message-id: <1998032203510400.WAA19049@ladder03.news.aol.com> Some noisy self-appointed know-it-all states this: <<Among the many reasons why- apparently way to much prepping is required.>> Right dude! And others will accept contracts where there is incomplete source code, odds are you have no concept of what prepping is, let-alone what is required for MDs tools to perform their task - that being 100% renovation. Prepping?!? MD offers the only comprehensive PrepTool available, period. What's needed for MD prepwise, is a complete library, nothing more, period. The prep tool scans all code put into it and tells you which files/copy books are missing. Anyone who says or even thinks that you can fix code without having 100% of it is mis-informed, period. Too much prep work needed indeed. You plain don't know what you're talking about, which makes you perfectly acceptable here, cause most of those posting here are mis-informed. Good luck to any company who has signed contracts for Y2k and finds themselves working with a system which lacks (Oh gee guys, we lost that code 10 years ago! Just work around it!) source code. LOL, when that muck hits the fan watch out! Contracts? way too many here focus on Zitel's role in obtaining contracts, fine, I won't argue with you, but in my reality all that matters is MD's contracts, via the TA's. If you care to look you'll notice more then a few impressive names on both the TA list and the signed contract list. Believe it or not: There are two choices for the world to make. #1- do what you're doing now regarding Y2k and watch the bottom fall out over the next 36 months, or.... #2 get off the stick, find and/or recreate the libraries needed and get the ?$^@#% code into a factory that can fix it fast and fix it right. Period..... it's that simple. Don't believe me? Ask a big six firm, ask an informed industry analyst, ask and let me know what you learn. Mark
