They are nothing alike after the mapper. Gentran NT is an EDI system, GIS
is a set of tools that you use to design a system, maybe one used for EDI ,
maybe not. You can't even write out data without writing BPML to do it.
Everything you are used to being handled by NT is something you have to
think about and set up yourself with GIS. There is no "desktop" anymore.
There is no "process control" as you understand it.
Have you ever done the exercise in school where you write the instructions
to make a peanut butter a jelly sandwich and then trade them with someone
else who follows your instructions EXACTLY to make the sandwich? Try that
and then maybe you will have an understanding of the difference.
You just can't read some documentation and fake your way through this one
