Integrity Analyzer (SIA)
Some breaking news on AMPredictor:
I was notified by my contact at AMP that they have decided to get
out of
the analysis tools business and so they are discontinuing the
AMPredictor product. Presumably this would mean that their support
for
existing customers of AMPredictor would also cease at some point as
well.
