Brad,

I've got just completed a project installing 8 Eclipse CMM's running Calypso into our manufacturing site. I'm just looking at converting our Prismo Super Acc with Vast from UMESS to Calypso. However, I'm going to use a dual boot to ensure I can use all my legacy programs. I've also got a couple of contacts who are using Prismo Vasts with Calypso.

If there is anything I can help you with feel free to email.
