1364.0. "Anyone ever heard of Mentec?" by TALLIS::DARCY (Alpha Migration Tools) Thu Mar 31 1994 16:38

    Finally a work-related question ;v)
    Anyone have any info on a software company called Mentek?  I.e. what
    do they develop/sell? They're located in Dublin.
    
    Thanks,
    George

	now. I cannot remember what they did.

    They do lots of software projects, primarily MFG control stuff and the
    like.  I think they are kind of a re-seller (OEM) of DEC equipment.
    
    Not sure what they are like now, but when they started off they hired a
    lot of grads and tended to be somewhat of a "body shop".

    They also do PDP11 based controllers, skipped VAX and are now doing
    Alpha based PC/controller. 
    
    Why do you ask.

    Apparently, we've sold to them our PDP-11 software and the rights
    to distribute/sell them.  Interesting.

    They sell a manufacturing package. I dealt with them some 10 years ago
    when I worked for Irish distillers. They were pretty small at the time.

1364.12I watched Crying Game too many times...TALLIS::DARCYAlpha Migration ToolsThu Apr 07 1994 10:119
    You know - yesterday afternoon I was thinking about that (after I had
    entered the note).  I was going to delete my note, then I figured well
    if it isn't a man's name, then she'll tell me and I'll learn something
    too.  Avril sounded like my friend's name Avery so I figured... wrong!
