- I'm the analyst of our CWIS and we've been using a combination of
- software including VTX. VTX has all the parts and pieces to build
- a great system such as VAX, RUSL & ELK but learning them all is quite
- a challenge. Since we already had a nuceleus of CWIS we decided to
- use VTX in a different way. We often spawn sub-processes out of a Cobol
- application to pickup a page in VTX or a menu. This increases the
- versitility of our online jobs both in and out of a CWIS environment.
-
- Try the info systems in North Carolina or New Hampshire for a view
- a purer VTX system.
