They compete directly with Index and have a far superior product (IMHO). They can be reached at: Charles River Development 483 Beacon Street Boston, MA 02115 (617) 424-1820 Some of Data-Station's features: AutoCAD based design system; data dictionary built in a SQL based relational database; access to dictionary by ~60 screens and over 80 reports; open architecture, users may define their own reports, screens, and even methodology; support for E-R, Yourdan/DeMarco, and Gane & Sarson models (among others). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "A contract programmer is always intense." may%nmeser.enet@decwrl.dec.com ..!decwrl!nmeser.enet!may
