The company that markets this is:

	Santa Monica, CA  90405
	(213) 452-2435

The contact there I have been working with is Julie Reeder.  She seems
to be pretty responsive.  We have not used this product yet, but from the
demo's that we have received, it looks pretty good.  We should be getting
a copy shortly.  One additional point - there is a set of C callable routines
that allows you to develop applications that take advantage of resources both
in the UNIX and DOS environments.
