| Try contacting Stephen Catalano, software specialist in the Eastern
Massachusetts Software District. When I met Steve last Spring,
he was on a project at Hanscomb AFB. The government had selected
and were using the FORTEX product to develop with ORACLE. Ken McMullen
in Toronto may be able to help you as well. There is a bank there
trying out the product.

| 61.2 | Not bad! | BMT::BOWERS | Count Zero Interrupt | Tue Dec 22 1987 00:39 | 18 |
| We just had the Fortex folks in for a demo. The product looks
reasonable and has some rather nice features (push/pop windows for
forms and menus). We have requested reference sites so that we can
look into productivity and performance claims.
One extremely useful aspect of the product is that it generates
standard C code. This permits the creation of systems that go beyond
menu- and forms-driven database updating, since the creation of
calls to external subroutines requires nothing fancier than the
inclusion of the appropriate declarations and calls in the generated
code.
I've a copy of Fortex's overview presentation slides. Send mail
if you'd like a copy.

| 61.3 | replacement or competitor | DUB01::FARRELL | | Wed Jan 13 1988 21:11 | 7 |
| In the base note it says that Passport is a replacement for
SQL*forms. Does this mean that Oracle themselves are dropping sql*forms
in favour of PASSPORT or is this product a competitor ?
Thanks in advance for any information.
