We run CA (ASK) MANMAN version 9.1 on our 987 with 5.0 no problems.
Can't vouch for OMAR, but have also decided to drop support, or at
least attempting to. How did CA react to your request to not pay them
for the privilege of using 'their' software?

As many of us are aware the ever rising cost of software support has
caused many of us to drop maintenance from products as it is no longer
felt to be necessary.  This is the case with two of our products:
ASK-OMAR ver. 9.0.19 and Collier-Jackson payroll ver. 2.09.M33.  I am
curious as to if anyone out there has updated their OS to 5.0 and are
using either of the 2 products, and more so the version levels that we
currently have.  I personally know that CJ payroll will run at the M45
level, and the ASK people feel that OMAR 'should" be fine. That is not
much comfort when things fall apart on a Monday morning.
 
If anybody out there could shed some light on this I would appreciate
your input.
