Dear histonetters,
     Thanks to all who responded to my query about information systems
     for Anatomic Pathology. This is a brief synopsis of reponses and
     contacts:

     CoPath:
     Variable levels of satisfaction-- Long installation due to
     Sunquest not meeting deadlines. "Don't believe them when they say
     'sure it will do that'".  "Very flexible and moldable." "Able to
     iron out most difficulties."
     If you are a Sunquest user, other vendors may not bid a CoPath
     system. Dynamic sells CoPath. Their address and phone are:

     Cerner:
     They have a Washington D.C. office listed on the internet-
     www.cerner.com. The phone is always busy. Makes me wonder about
     customer service.

     Tamtron:
     Favorable comments. Nice people on the phone.

     Cortex:
     Impressive conversation with the Eastern rep. "Very good support
     and great user group that meets several times a year." "Not
     perfect but none of them are".

     StarPath
     "Great deal of problems". No phone or address available.

     Apoloco Systems

     Hope this research can help someone out there. If others would
     like to add comments/experiences I would still be interested.
