We run many of Collier-Jackson's (now VishionShift) applications. They converted their scrren handling interfaces to JAM over the past few years. It gave them a common interface for all applications. One thing that has been noted by our users is that JAM is *much* slower than VIEW. User perception is a key metric. In this case, the slow-down of the online system is as big a negative as all the other enhancements that were gained. Regards, --- John Joerger ([log in to unmask]) --- Press-Telegram (Long Beach)
