      Great. Good to have OS/2 expert people like you around
      Jonathan with good solutions.  :)

I am afraid I am not sure I follow this last part.  Could you expound in
a bit more detail.  I think we all would be better enlightened.  Thanks,
Jonathan.

I am wondering if you are aware of a new software called called SAP.
Some people have sent me msgs that SPA is produced by a German company
of the same name.  The information sent so far is that this software has
something to do with:

1. Client Server

2. UNIX

3. Databases

One form is R1 for IBM R6xxxx machines and R2 is for other UNIX based
machines.

I am looking for specific contact information for this German company
and more detailed information what SAP allegedly does.  Can you help,
Jonathan?  Much thanks.

Have you got any expertise in real-time applications for process control
using OS/2 and/or UNIX and something called VXWORKS?  Again, thanks.
