For inbound transactions, you may want to download the FREE Softshare EDI Notepad which will transform X12 and EDIFACT into an easily readable format which you can then print. This will become tedious quickly, allowing you to jump in with the solution: A real EDI system. To find the download, go to www.softshare.com.

If you want anything which will do what I would call "the minimum"... 1. Edit inbound or outbound documents for compliance with ANSI standard 2. Generate 997 for inbound documents (and that is the 'minimum minimum') I know of no Shareware, and I will guarantee you there is no such thing as freeware. But what do I know? I've only been working with ANSI ASC X12 translators and mappers since about 1983 or so...... Then again, for (very) LIMITED purposes, you may not need a REAL translator. eg, you are doing one or two documents for one or two partners.... there's no reason a competent applications programmer with a knowledge of ANSI ASC X12 transactions can't cole up with something to handle the job. Please contact my office if you want/need to pursue a 'not a full-blown translator' option. Michael C. Mattias Tal Systems Inc. Racine WI [EMAIL PROTECTED] ...
