2098.0. "Looking for sources of ALL-IN-1 SSM" by AKRON::SABAKA (Dave Sabaka, Akron OH) Fri Jan 15 1993 16:02

    We have a customer that saw a demo of the ALL-IN-1 System for Sales and
    Marketing about a year ago.  Now they want us to write a system like
    that for them.  I know that this is no longer a supported ASSET, but it
    would be nice if we could obtain the source code as a starting point
    for our project.  When I called the support phone number, they said
    they might have the source in the "Charlotte backups", but they weren't
    sure.  They suggested asking here first.
    
    So, does anyone know where the sources of that package might be lurking
    on the network...?  Thanks.

    Dave,
    
    When Charlotte "went away", so did the technical resources for SSM. 
    The sources were maintained on the SHALOT cluster.  All the
    knowledgable tech. people were transitioned.  If the Sales and
    Marketing Practice still exists, they would be your best source. 
    Contact Larry Gilbert or Harvey Silverberg, both @ACI.  Sorry, don't
    have numbers handy.
    
    You may be able to obtain a copy from the European ASSETS people.  It
    was available from them at one time.  I doubt that the US ASSETS
    program retained copies, but they may have.
    
    DEC Canada built a modified version of SSM for use by their sales
    force.  Maybe someone from the Toronto group will reply here (hint,
    hint).
    
    If all else fails, you may be able to obtain a copy of the older
    version from the SSB archives.  No idea of contact here.
    
    Best of luck with your search.

2098.2Try the July 1990 CD?AIMTEC::WICKS_AA year behind in more ways than oneFri Jan 15 1993 18:5528
    Dave, (the .0 one)
    
    One of only two STARS articles on SSM that I could find is written
    by one Dave Hussey - SSM Engineering so there's no way 
    I can possibly manage as accurate and well written a response as my
    colleague here at the ALF facility but i'll add some bits and pieces
    I do know.
    
    
    1) SSM was retired sometime prior to Jul-1991 which may predate the
       archives of the European ASSETS library and the last version I
       saw was running on ALL-IN-1 v2.3 so might take a little to upgrade
       if you're intending to go to v3.0.
    
    2) I spent sometime in the lovely city of Charlotte in the last days
       of the OPA facility rescuing some source code, documentation and
       knowledge but looking through the still unpacked box of stuff I
       returned with I don't see anything on SSM so it may not exist on
       the SHALOT backups that went "north".
    
    3) the unpatched SSM kit 1.2 is on the July 1990 CD but Dave's STARS
       article contains a workaround for installing that kit under v2.4
       so it must be a good avenue to pursue if you try and obtain one
       of these old CDs.
    
    regards,
