No offense, but it does not tell you that. It tells you that
A) the company is Accel B) the product is Tango Tango is the parent application to PCAD. When Accel bought Omation and gutted the company and product, they made a new amalgam, using the technology they got from Omation's Windows product to bolster their crappy Tango application into the new, improved (and still crappy) PCAD. (As an aside...in fact, it's still just as crappy as it ever was. I know because I am stuck using it at my place of work...) In any case, Tango is not PCAD, it is Tango. That they (Tango and PCAD) were originally produced by the same company is not tantamount to content equality, much as it would be silly to call Protel Autotrax "P99SE"... The true irony is that PCAD and its parent code are now the sole property of the one and only...
