First let me say that you are making a wise decision.  Speedware is far superior
to Cognos, and that is only reinforced every time I am forced to use Cognos.  To
answer your question.  concentrate on new development only in SpeedWare.  If you
have a canned system like Amisys, then you probably want to let them support it
anyway.  As you get bored (like that ever happens), go back and convert code
that you have written yourselves.  I would concentrate on the QUIZ code first,
since it is so abysmally slow.

Management is looking to replace Cognos with Speedware.
Question: Can existing Powerhouse routines such as Quick screens,Quiz
reports, QTP, etc be converted or should Speedware be used for new
development only ? Note that we have many screens and such that we don't
have the source code for because we use AMISYS.
