Ron,

We are still enhancing and supporting our Vista Plus for Windows
product on the HP/3000. Our customer base continues to grow as
companies are realizing supporting a printing environment is
expensive, labor intensive and prone to lots of errors.

Most companies are surprised at all the functionality (online viewing,
archiving, security, automated capture, etc) available in the
product. We have been agressively developing the product since
1991.

Give us a call and we will provide a demo of the product.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Our Automated Report Distribution product "Vista Plus" has been 
helping HP/3000, Unix and NT users transition from report printing  
to electronic report distribution for many years now. While 
dramatically reducing the amount of reports that are printed on 
a daily, weekly and monthly basis, our customers report users have 
seen their productivity dramatically improved. MIS personnel 
repsonsible for report distribution are freed up to perform more
important tasks and have less issues to deal with since report 
printing is reduced.
 
For your data center, Vista Plus stream lines the business process
of report distribution. Printed reports are replaced with 
Electronic Reports resulting in a dramatic reduction in labor and 
material costs required to distribute production reports to end 
users.

their HP/3000 and HP/9000 business applications.  These applications include
ManMan, AMISYS, MACS, SAP R/3, BAAN, PeopleSoft and Oracle Applications.

Just to chime in, I'm looking for software that can archive spool files.
At the same time, this product should allow you to view the files
online.  I have contacted O'pin Solutions to look at their reveal
product.  Would you believe that they are only supporting existing
customers and not selling to software, anymore.  They have NT/UNIX
versions, and said that the customer base for the 3000 was shrinking and
it was no longer worth selling.

Sorry, just lost my mind for a moment...

Anyway, can anyone help with software suggestions.  Thanks!!!
