Reading this news caused some distress, as (you may remember from an earlier
posting) we have a prototype version of the GAPP system, and are awaiting
availability of the production version.  After checking with the GAPP people
at NCR, they have assured us that NCR has not discontinued the GAPP, and
that the production version will be in our hands around mid-December.

What exactly did your ex-NCR colleague have to say?  According to our
contacts at NCR, his information is flat out wrong.
