Greg,
        Check out CostCoach at http://www.costcoach.com, it may be just what
you need. It was developed by Phil Zarrow, Ron Lasky of MPM, Dr. Dan Baldwin
of Georgia Tech and Jessica Lasky at Purdue, and can approach assembly
quoting from a multitude of angles.
P.S. - Check out the great picture of Phil Zarrow at
http://www.itm-smt.com/about.html. Hey Phil, where's Mister Fenniman?

> Good Morning:
