Hi,


I have used speedware for 5 years, its much faster than QUIZ,
you may still need to use SUPRTOOL to do the extracts, and in some
cases its as fast as COBOL.

The learning curve is much shorter than other report writer languages on HP3000.

I hope this helps.

Michael

We are an Amisys shop and saw a demo of Speedware today.  We looked at a list of
their products including Speedware, Easy Report Writer, Autobahn, Media and I
believe a couple of other things which I can not think of off the top of my head
(brain overflow).  I know I have seen information about both of these products
on this list and from what I have seen it has been positive.  I have two
questions:

1.  Is it really as good as it seems or will it fall to pieces later?

2.  Currently we do all of our reporting using Suprtool and Quiz and we are
experiencing significant DISK I/O bottlenecks.  Will Speedware help or hurt this
bottle neck.

All opinions (especially the bad) are more than welcome.

Thanks in advance.
