|Has anybody out there ever heard of a software package called SOLOMON?

Solomon is an accounting and inventory control package.  It is quite
good and quite expensive.  While it *can* be run on a single PC, it's
not very cost-effective to do so.  I believe it is intended to be
networked with Novell but it has been awhile so I could be mixing it
up with R:Base.

Solomon has consistently been rated "excellent" by reviewers, both for
its features and its documentation.  The product is one of the best
PC-based products on the market.

You pay for this excellence; I believe the base system was around
$3000 and additional modules cost around $1000.  These prices are
purely from memory and should not be considered accurate; I'm just
giving you an idea of what you'll be getting into.  If you need what
Solomon provides, it is definitely worth the money.
