While this package is impressive in its stated capabilities and could be a very useful production tool (we are an Architectural firm), there is a serious bug in the current version which causes Pegasys to HALT when you perform certain random I/O functions. This had made the program totally unusable by us and Pegasys has been sitting idle for the past four months. IGC has been promising that an upgraded version of this package would be available in about a month - for the last seven months! Because of this experience, I cannot recommend that anyone purchase this package for use on their 3B1/UNIXPC machines. If and when I receive the revised version of the package from IGC, I will test it and report the results to the net in a follow-up article. Anyone requiring more specific information on Pegasys is welcome to write or call me for additional info. I would also be interested in hearing from anyone else who has had experience using this software on a UNIXPC. -- Jeffery Small (203) 776-2000 UUCP: uunet!---\ C.
