Sterling Commerce - that’s a name I haven’t heard in a •long• time. Do you by any chance remember a company called “EDES” (Electronic Data Exchange Service)?

There's a tickle in a neuron but it could be self-induced. What was the relationship?

They bought EDES in 1998 - it was a company I’d done a bit of contract work for.

(Trivia) EDES was one of the few users of RPL (RapidGen Programming Language) - Decision Table based, and running on PDP11s and later MicroVaxs.

Hmmm I was there in 98, probably just a hole in my memory.
