If you google Reynolds and Reynolds and look for articles regarding their "RGS" product, you'll find the info. Basically, their CEO at the time, nicknamed "Buzz", spent the money on this "state of the art" RGS product which never made money but consumed huge quantities. The fallout was that many of their Basic programming shops had to be closed or consolidated and many of their Basic programmers, myself included, were either relocated or laid off in order to save the company, and still that wasn't enough, as they eventually had to merge with one of their competitors, UCS.
