Re: Fourgen Case Tools and Accounting
}>>>>>>>>> Perry's response to Clay Irving <<<<<<<<<< While it is true that FourGen has not sold or supported the Business product, we are offering it to our partner channel for some amount so that they will actually own the code and no longer have to pay FourGen licensing. As for the CASE Tools, FourGen has no plans to discontinue supporting or making new versions available. There has been no formal announcement concerning the CASE Tools, but we expect to make one soon. Please get the facts before posting misinformation. I hope this clears up any questions concerning Clay's posting.
