RE: F35 - Y2K Simulators and more

[Glenn Ericson <Glenn-Ericson@xxxxxxx>]

I  have  no  financial interests in SIMDATE  but  feel  this product will
help  in the  date simulation arena..
You send SIMDATE inquires to  Gary L Peskin <garyp@firstech.com> at The
Firstech Corporation.

There are  several other  Simulator  products on the market that  do nice
jobs.  Some offer Query  functions,  Agers, and Comparitors for files and
reports.[ Sort of a save the eyes foundation thing PLUS  save the brain
from numing in comparison activities.  Likely this  askee  has not  yet
thought of the record  & play  that  might be needed  as well..... but that
is another issue/ product set.

Another Test area 
You should  contact Brian Benett  and inquire  about his tool TALC  for
record and play .  Brian is in Austrilia   Tallecom's his company's
product is excellent and installed around the world.
The  Email  address  &  Web  site  is:
