[comp.os.vms] Opinions wanted: ITOS on VMS

(I'm posting this for my wife ... flames to her, not me. :-)

Has anyone had any experience (at least any they would like to pass on) with
the text processing package ITOS, sold by Intermation, running on VAX VMS?
In particular, has anyone had trouble getting user support from Intermation
when ITOS does weird things?  My wife's group, which uses ITOS on an 11/750,
has had all sorts of trouble lately trying to run ITOS simultaneously with
Datatrieve and other things.  Apparently the ITOS files get corrupted in some
strange way, coupled with intermittent bashing of Datatrieve files.
Causality is hard to prove on this, but the same Datatrieve procedures run
perfectly well when ITOS is not active.  Intermation cannot or will not try
to figure out what is going on.

I don't normally read comp.text, so if this has been beaten to death there, my
apologies.  Please e-mail your experiences and opinions to me, and I'll post if
there's enough interest.

Thanks in advance ...
