ADRS Apl Data Reporting System was taken together with ADI Apl Data
Interface as well FPS Finacial Planning System and put into a product
called IC/1 Info Center/1
I took over that project and created an APL2 only version of it and
named it IC/E and it is still being sold and used by a lot of people.
