Things Work Right
Important notes:
- We have a new phone number -
727-417-7380.
Please
use this number instead of any you might have found on web sites that
led
you to this page. Thank you.
- Custom programming services in the
various
incarnations
of the RPG language are also available from FastBreed
Technologies.
Click here
for more details.
- All of the software modules offered on
this
site are free.
When the 30 day demo is up just email us at Support
and you'll be given a key that will change the demo version you've
downloaded
into a production version. Keep in mind that all of these program
were written specifically for the iSeries (AS/400), version 4.4 and
higher. If you would like the modules enhanced to better
fit
the needs of your company then we can provide that service. In
that
case you would also receive the source code as one of the deliverables
for the enhancements.

Controversial
Ideas
If you'd like a new idea relating to any problem
you're having, feel free to send me a note at New Ideas and I'll see what I can come up with. Keep in mind
that I'm a generalist, meaning I take concepts from unrelated areas and
merge them to come up with my ideas. Specialists would be
required to develop the engineering, physics, etc... that the idea
might entail.
