I have asked a friend who uses it, if this is what he uses and if it is free. 
He has converted everything he did with MXG to WPS.

My boss has heard of WPS, but could never find out much. I don't know if he 
couldn't find the company, or if they didn't respond to his inquiries. In any 
case, I can do anything that I want. So long as the cost, to the company, is no 
more that U.S. $0.00 . Which leaves WPS off the table.

I've always thought that this idea of "MSUs in the bank" was not of all that 
much use, in the big picture. But it is something that my manager is sensitive 
to. Another person, off line, showed me an MSU graph that my manager would 
swoon over. He uses some RMF software to help produce it.
Unfortunately we use an old (purchased) version of BMC's MainView to do our 
RMF-like work, so I don't have the software that he uses.
