Occasionally, some of our customers allow user stories to be written, emphasizing how Razor has helped their operations. They get nothing directly out of doing this other than knowing they've helped spread the good word.

• MIT, Lincoln Labs is one of the largest federally funded research laboratories in the country. This note discusses how one group there decided to use Razor for CM on a large C++ effort for the (US) DoD.
• The European Southern Observatory has the unique problem of having their scientists and software developers located near Munich, Germany while the telescope they are working with is in the Atacama desert in Chile! Razor allows them to work off synchronized problem tracking databases, even over these significant geographical distances.
• Both LSI Logic and Salix Systems use Razor, but in notably different businesses. The first one handles issue management in a semiconductor house, and the second for source code management related to document storage technology.
• The National Center for Genome Resources is perhaps one of the coolest technical efforts underway on the planet; they're working to map the entire human DNA sequence (and they use Razor to help).

You may be interested in looking over an abbreviated list of some other customer sites, or look through what a few of them have written about us.

News and new product announcements from Tower Concepts have been printed in each of the major industry magazines. And, of course, Razor has been mentioned in various comparison matrices that the magazines have generated over time. We're also listed in what we hope are all of the appropriate FAQ's and such.

Perhaps the best article about the product though appeared in SunWorld Online, July 1995. It's part of a longer article comparing two of the large packages on the market, and Razor was covered in a sidebar article, pointing out that we provide a perfectly fine alternative at a reasonable price. (Please be patient if you vector over to the article; it's quite large with lots of graphics.)

Finally, Data Management Review printed a fine article about Razor by Larry Cochran in their April '96 issue. It details how the product was used at the Canadian Space Agency. If you want to write us, we'll be more than happy to send you a re-print of the article.

Although much of this is also mentioned over on the specs page, we mention it all here as well in the name of thoroughness...

Demo/eval copies

Demo/eval copies of the software and postscript copies of the documentation set are available by ftp. If you've got access to the 'real' web, then you can download full executable copies of Razor for all of our supported platforms, as well as the postscript copy of our full manual set. All you need to do is click here to get over to our 'real' web site. You'll be popped to a page (much like this one) where you can then get whatever you want.
