Of course you should bear in mind that you're reading a "press release"
from one of the originators of the tool! ;-) (It is hardly flawless and
getting the benefits from it depends a lot on user acceptance)
Actually, we went through a few iterations of trying to get someone to
take it over and subcontract the whole thing out, with the notion being
that a commercial vendor selling the tool far and wide would likely get
us a better product in the end. There was talk at one time of our
selling/giving the tool to one or more of the airframers we work with
for similar reasons. (Buy a rocket from us and maybe we can throw it in
at no extra charge along with a set of Ginsu Steak Knives! :-)
Currently, the tool is undergoing a major revision to become web based
so it will run on a polyglot of systems. (BTW, for those in the language
wars who think it might take months of project delay and millions of $$$
to switch languages? The P-T-C team decided they wanted to use Java for
the web based stuff and they got the books, found some web sites,
started with some practice code and then got busy building the stuff in
Java. I wasn't involved, so I don't know *exactly* how much time/money
it cost, but it didn't involve much more than the cost of some books and
maybe a couple of weeks of playing around before they were leaning over
my cubicle wall saying "Hey Marin! Check out what I can make a web page
do...!")
I don't know how amenable Mr. Pratt and Mr. Whitney would be to
selling/giving away the development system today. I know it was
considered in the past and dropped on the floor at some point. (At least
partly due to not being able to find a qualified party who wanted to
take it over for whatever P&W was offering.) But certainly for our
customers something like this is always an element in contract
discussions.
