Digital Collections Inc. is now licensing ImageAXS for the production of CD¬s. I¬m currently using it to produce two commercial titles for a non-profit foundation. Unfortunately it¬s still early days, so there is little documentation - but the imaging is great, and there is a real database underneath. For information about it, talk to Mark Sherengo (510) 814-7200) ---A disclaimer---Although I have worked with DCI in the past, I am now working as a private consultant with no allegiance to any product, other than what works for the problem at hand.
