This is almost certainly the only reason HP developed DBChange in the
first place.

The cry for the "single vendor solution" used to be extremely loud, and
HP did a lot of product development to satisfy it.

In this day of Servers + Clients + Middleware + ERP + MS Office + LANs +
Internet + etc., it doesn't seem to occur to people quite as often that
it might be possible to do everything with components from a single
supplier.  Does anyone hear the single vendor solution demand anymore?
