- We use and sell SOA. While no software is perfect for everyone's taste,
- this particular set comes pretty close in making users happy. As Marc has
- suggested, there are some quirks which can be worked around. Onre thing

- State of the Art software and BBx (Business Basic) go back many years to
- the old mini days when appropriataryness was in vogue and UNIX existed
- mainly for students.
