I would have to agree with Daniel that the most likely source of the e-mail
addresses that Core are using was the old powerh-l listserver (there was a
command to get an automated response listing all current subscribers, if you
knew the e-mail address to send it to). I have just tried the same command
on this list and it fails...so we're probably safe (for now).

Personally, I have not heard of any successful migrations of PowerHouse
applications performed by Core. I did hear anecdotal evidence that some
reports they converted led to 100-line QUIZ programs being converted into
1,200+ lines of un-maintainable PL/SQL code. Quite what they can accomplish
with complex QDESIGN and QTP code I shudder to think. Just a personal view
you understand...

Best regards,
Conrad
