Japanese software company Brod Systems Engineering Inc has concluded an agreement for the import and sale of software from Software Engineering of America: the first step will be to produce a Japanese version of PDSFAST, which is designed for users who find IBM’s IEBCOPY utility much too slow – the rival product is claimed to run 10 times faster, and will be aimed at Fujitsu Ltd and Hitachi Ltd mainframe users as well as IBM users.
