Viewpoint is just not a solid product yet and the superview concept has create more problems than it has solved for what our end users need to do. (is it 1.0 or 1.0 alpha?!). Also, PowerMaker is only $99 vs. about $400 for Viewpoint. We have looked at the Gupta demo but not yet evaluated the product. Thanks for the report on Gupta, we will keep our eye on it. Jeff.
