I'm trying to collect some information on machine accounting packages.  It
appears that we are moving toward UNIX and Novell environments.  We have
been using BDBF of Legent.  We migrated toward MXG and find it to be a
good package in many respects.  However, there are some problems.  We are
interested in the following.

1.  A package based on UNIX with the capability of collecting data from
    MVS and Novell environments.
2.  Simple to use and maintain.
3.  We are not doing a real chargeback, but rather trying to determine
     resource usage.
4.  The desire is to account for the majority of expense generated and
     chargeable.

MXG is, as far as I'm concerned, light years ahead of the old BDBF, but it
still requires too much time and it is difficult to maintain any kind of
continuity across time periods.  At this time there is considerable
distrust of the data generated.

We see references to CA-JARS, CA-Unicenter, Kommand, MICS, MXG, and the
list probably could go on.

I would appreciate some feedback and ideas.
