SIMS is a monopoly and we all know how long they take to shift. However, like Windows, there is sufficient antipathy toward SIMS to give some encouragement to would be competitors. Support contracts would make an OS product commercially viable.
Support contracts? We have one for CMIS. We asked them if they could re-do the data import, they said fine, only eight hundred pounds. So we've worked out how to do it ourselves, and it does take half an hour or so, longer if you spill the coffee (in passing, it seems odd that a data import system written in Dublin should filter out all apostrophes in names). -- Christopher Dawkins, Felsted School, Dunmow, Essex CM6 3JG 01371-822698, mobile 07816 821659 cchd@felsted.essex.sch.uk
