Corrections
The story "Visual RPG Expands Horizons of OS/400 ERP Vendor" originally stated that ASNA's AVR programs can be compiled to run on OS/400. In fact, AVR programs can only be compiled to run on Windows, but can be configured to use the DB2/400 database, as well as Windows databases. The story also incorrectly stated the cost of new development for GXD. Xdata says the total cost to develop all of its software was about $5 million; the GXD rewrite alone actually cost about $700,000. Guild Companies regrets the errors. [Corrections made 5/14/02]
