Rather than revise the original system, Sunkist turned to the Microsoft .NET Framework and Visual Studio .NET, plus .NET productivity tools and services from PDSA Inc., to create a new, more flexible and maintainable system in a timely fashion. http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=324996 *************************************** From the Editor *************************************** We'd like to thank everyone who responded to the survey in the last issue.
