Don't buy the books, get either EDISIM (if you can afford it, it's
great) or EDIFECS (I don't like it, but others do) or EDI Assistant,
very user friendly and WAY cheaper than the books. Oh, and the EDIFACT
standards are available on the internet, for free:

By the way, I don't have any financial interest in any of the above
mentioned products, and the opinions are personal, so don't sue me.

So there is a reason to buy the X12 books........
However, it looks like my email (hotmail) eliminated the first part of
the BNF. Did anyone else have that problem since the BNF include data
in "<>"?
