We are currently running "Classic" Argus, but due to hardware problems are without access to any of our records (we have about 20,000 of our 50,000 records on Argus now). Argus is recomennding an upgrade to their new Open Edition product, at considerable expense. What we want to know at this time is if the upgrade is worth the expense. Can anyone recommend a good, relativly inexpensive software package for IBM machines? Has anyone out there left Argus and what did you replace it with? If so, is the new application better, worse, or about the same? TIA for your help. Patricia Kirkland There is no Sin Curator of Collections Greater than Ignorance.
