Or am I confusing them with Palantir, or simply > mistaken altogether? *** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR RUMOUR *** Paladin/VisiCorp is across the street from us. Paladin, who was developing some sort of an AI based integrated thingy, was formed by some ex Visi people. After remerging with Visicorp (after a bloodbath at Visi), the newly formed Paladin/VisiCorp decided that they really wanted to stay in software publishing. They layed off most of their technical people (some of whom were QAing CRUNCH as their final assignment). Now, cars are seldom seen in their parking lot past 6:00pm. Also, CRUNCH wasn't developed in-house. An apocryphal story about the old Visicorp told that the only manager in-house who actually *used* any of their products was Mitch Kapor.
