Hi Deane,

     Have you ever heard Cognos Corporation in Burlington,MA  or  Cognoss
     Incorporated in Ontario, Canada  or  Cognos Limited in Berkshire, U.K.?

     Yes, you are right. QUIZ is a report-writer sold by Cognos, a third-party
     company. QUIZ is one component of PowerHouse, a fourth-generation
     application development language for minicomputers.

     In addition to QUIZ, PowerHouse includes an on-line, interative screen
     developer and processor called QUICK, and a high-volume transaction
     processor called QTP.


     BUT, remember do your home work before you purchase. Most people, whom I
     know and they are computer Nuts, prefer SPEEDWARE product better than
     PowerHouse. You can find both two companies products from NetScape:
     http://www.speedware.com/   and   http://www.cognos.com/

     Personally, I would like to have a chance to use SPEEDWARE instead of
     PowerHouse. I believe that other people have different opinions as me.

     Good Luck.

     Asta Chen

I've been asked to find out about a product called QUIZ for the HP.  Is
it a 'language', like COBOL sold by HP or is it a report-writer sold by
a third-party?  Any idea how to contact the vendor?  Any words-of-wisdom
re it's use/user friendliness/reasons NOT to use it?  Thanks.
