I would also be interested to know if there is anything which simplifies
the creation of new message types for DEC/EDI. The accounts I have heard
over the years indicate that it is not an easy product for a user who
has to develop new maps. I am impressed that Steve and his colleagues
can manage it successfully without specialised training.
