I use both the Meridian ACE environment and their Window environment.
I like them both.  You have to play around with the Window environment
to meet your needs, but once done, it is fine.  One environment that
I have seen demonstrate and impressed me was (I believe AETech's).
A colleague of mind used both Meridian and Alsys together in a
project and preferred to use Meridian's ACE to develop the code, but
perferred Alsys code generation for the final product.  I'd like to
hear the opinion of others.
