Lines: 14 I'm glad to see that the folks at PVI have taken the time to respond to the message regarding their financial stability. For those of us who have their mainframe products, it's encouraging to know that we won't necessarily be stuck on the current releases of the products. It seems as though most companies have trouble with unix platforms (Unix isn't BSD isn't Ultrix isn't Unicos, etc) and PVI is one of the few companies who has done a good job porting products which work under many flavors of unix. (Of course, every installation of any new product requires *some* tweaking :-) Now, if they would only give their un*x products the same priority as ... dreaded VMS ! Thanks to Jim Warner and Jim Heumann for responding ... I wonder if they can be convinced that the world doesn't revolved around WAVE!
