<DIV><SPAN class=480101312-04082003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>If you
have a copy, it's simple enough to deduce what it was written it. Not that that
achieves a whole lot, but it's pretty easy. In fact, more than once I have been
in places such as a hotel front desk and a liquor store and glanced over the
attendant's shoulder and knew at once what the software was written in. It's not
always that simple (no keystrokes) but typically a brief look with a tool or two
and you have the answer.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a client who uses a locally (South
African) developed package which is in direct competition to Goldmine. The
developer obviously claims that his product is better than
Goldmine.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The product is called Protrack and uses SQL
Server to store all information and interfaces directly to Microsoft Outlook.
I think the product is developed in VB, but could be wrong on that one.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you are interested, I could put you in touch
with the developer.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=010080514-02082003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

Any recommendations? I've a (potential) client who uses ACT! but, with
around 70,000 customers, finds it very slow. Looking to change. Any one
know Goldmine or MS's CRM? Or know another good one?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
