Are you referring to VAST?  They also have another product, called
FORGE.  Also, about what time was this, because I understand from
PSR that the current version of VAST is "vastly" (excuse the pun)
different from the original -- almost a complete rewrite, I think.
In any case, it sounds like your opinion is that it is a good
product.  Is that an accurate assessment?

Thanks for the info.  If you know of any other products similar
to these, let me know.
