Monarch v9 ships - a trip down memory lane
Doug points out the fact that Datawatch has shipped version 9 of Monarch and talks about his memory of the product. I remember it well also. I was on Compuserve then and someone posted a request for beta testers of a new tool that converted reports to data. I loved it!
I used it - even in beta form - for a few clients and raved about it online. They (with permission) even used a quote from me on their first set of marketing material. <g> Wish I could find a copy of that.
Thanks for bringing back some memories, Doug.
