For information on CUMULUS try www.canto-software.com/ or email mailto:sales@cantosoftware.com and for ImageAXSPro and EMBARK there is information at www.dascorp.com/ LUNA Imaging is also on the web but I don't have the address. tel. 310-452-8370 fax 310-452-8389. These are the only ones I know about but would be happy to hear about others. The name ReDiscovery appeared the other day and I would like to hear more about it.
In our Photo Resources Department we are also in need of an "off-the-shelf" image-management system, and I have just recently joined IMAGELIB for assistance. We are producing MAC files, but would like our image-management system to be one which can import data (and link to?) that is in a WINDOWS environment.
