There are some reports and postings that aren't 100%. But these programs are rarely, if ever, touched for modification. If you are doing integration, you would probably be writing your own posting and reporting routines. Although you may get into modifying some of the reports, I would doubt that you would change the posting routines. BTW: The Enterprise reports and postings are 100% regenerable, as well as the input programs. > Date: Fri, 04 Aug 1995 16:59:00 -0500 > From: charlie_sadler@mathworks.com (Charlie Sadler) > To: perryd@fourgen.com, jim_boettcher@turing.mathworks.com, > toby_denbow@turing.mathworks.com > Subject: Re: Fourgen Case Tools and Accounting > > Perry: > > I spoke with the MA sales rep this spring, she said that the > first level of the Accounting Package was not 100% CASE and > never will be.
