in past put down PowerHouse and encourages Cognos customers to port PH apps to

support (taking a few of the youngest and most promising ADT developers from
Cognos to boot) and license income.</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>10.
Speedware induces PH customers to "modenise" their PH apps by offering special
