812.0. "Converting CINCOM's SUPRA to Rdb" by GOLFNG::DONOVAN (Live now. Procastinate later!) Wed Nov 28 1990 22:36

    Has anyone converted CINCOM's SUPRA to Rdb/VMS?  I have a customer who
    is not happy with SUPRA and wants to convert.  What is involved?  Is
    this extremely involved?  What are usually recommended as complementary
    tools?
    
    Thanks,
    Patti

            Patti, sorry I haven't got back to you sooner but had
            trouble with the voice mail you left.
    
            I would suggest contacting the Colorado Migration Centre
            ans/or place a note in the CONVERSION notes file.
    
            I know that the CMS looked at converting from HP's IMAGE to
            Rdb as well as supported conversion to CINCOM's DB under
            the VAX Attract program many moon's ago. 
    
            IMAGE and CINCOM have a similar call structure so they
            are probably the best at evaluating you chances and may
            be able to quote on the conversion.

812.2Try CINCOM's MANTISCIMNET::BOURDEAURich Bourdeau CIM Product MarketingMon Dec 03 1990 15:296
    How about CINCOM's Mantis 4GL.  From what I understand Mantis supports
    both SUPRA and Rdb.  At their Control 90 symposium, CINCOM announced
    that they would be porting Control:Manufacturing to Rdb.  Control:Mfg
    is written in Mantis.  CINCOM is also positioning MANTIS as the tool
    that protects their customers investment in SUPRA, while allowing them
    to build new applications with Rdb.
