Infinium has acquired Cort. You can read about it at:
http://www.infinium.com/html/cort.html.

As to the future of the HP3000 version of the Cort Payroll, Infinium does
not plan to make it Y2K compliant.

I've been a Cort customer since 1986 (paid $1,200 for the 1st copy) and have
already ordered the Windows version which currently runs on Btrieve. We will
be running it on a dedicated, clustered Windows NT server setup which will
probably not come close to the speed and reliability that I've experienced
on the HP3000 for the past 12 years. Cort Payroll is/was a very fine HP3000
product - I hate to see it go but I was told by someone at Cort that they
haven't sold a copy of the payroll on the HP3000 since 1996.

In typical Cort fashion, the Windows version was built for "heads down",
efficient payroll. The user interface lacked polish when I tried it but
Infinium plans to redo the interface and add MS SQL Server support. I'm
hoping a combination of Cort's proven quality and a good user interface will
make for another fine payroll system.

I'm very surprised that you were not contacted about the upgrade. Someone at
Infinium has obviously dropped the ball.

Does anyone know what happened?  Did Infinium acquire Cort?  Or just
the HP3000 software? Does Infinium plan on continuing the package on
the HP3000?
