Minneapolis, MN -- October 21, 2001 - Profound Logic's application development tool was distributed today to the attendees of COMMON, the world's largest iSeries users group. The tool, entitled RPG-Alive, aids greatly with iSeries application development by adding graphical features to the native iSeries development environment. Each person attending COMMON received a fully-functioning evaluation of RPG-Alive in their registration bag.

COMMON is a four-day event featuring more than 700 educational sessions, and nearly 200 of the industry's top solution providers. COMMON assembles semi-anually, and attracts around 3,000 attendees to each meeting. This fall, COMMON was held in Minneapolis, Minnesota-not far from the home place of the IBM iSeries: Rochester, Minnesota.
