John Backus forwarded from the PowerHouse list:

>> 8.19 will have development support at least until June 30, 2000.

>>> "Development  Support Ends" on December 31,1998
>>> for PowerHouse V7.29.C8.

June 2000 is only 17 months away....   I recall back at the time
of Interex - Boston 1990 Cognos was doing "migration" promos
for Transact users, for that short period when the future of HP
Transact was at least somewhat in doubt.  Now 10 years later,
with HP on the verge of releasing another major enhancement
to Transact/iX ("Open Transact"), perhaps it would only be fair
if HP were to offer Cognos users a migration program to move
from PowerHouse to Transact/iX....       ;-)
