CA acquired ASM2 so long ago that I forgot where they got it from -  but
I don't think CA was the original developer.

I can think of very few products *EVER* developed by CA. Including their
very 1st product CA-SORT.

Their old motto "Software Superior by Design" should have read "Software
Superior by Acquisition"
---------------------<unsnip>------------------------
I still have a letter from Whitlow that was sent to all SyncSort customers about a blowup between Whitlow, CA and ComputerWorld concerning "false and misleading statements" in CA advertisements in ComputerWorld. Distinctly bad karma.

And I've always refered to CA as "Competition by Acquisition". My worst experience was shortly after CA acquired Pansophics and took over PANVALET.
