[AccessD] database modelling <SDW>

Nancy,

sorry, I couldn't find it myself. 

The product was created back in the late 70's or early
80's, if I remember correcltly, by Cap gemini. I read
in a maganzine (computable.nl) that BWISE, a dutch
company, had bought SDW from Cap. I checked there site
(bwise.com) and SDW is mentioned on it....it also got
1 complete picture of it and that's it.

Don't think this will help you much.

Regards,

Sander Derix

PS: If i run into it somewhere I'll post it here.
