Here are just a few comments we have received about our products:


"...Great product. Great service. Thank you."

Neil Middleton, MD, Contact Technology, New Zealand [about WordController]


"...Support was just great and they listened to us. They were always responsive....
If you are looking to integrate Word into yours Apps, then I strongly recommend looking at WordController."

Gilles Larouche, R&D Manager, MIO Informatics, Canada


"...this is a MUST for all serious COOL:Gen developers using OLE to enhance the functionality of their systems. An excellent product, WinFun is extremely robust, extremely well documented and very easy to use and deploy. The one bug encountered was fixed and deployed within a couple of hours - which puts many larger organisations to shame.

Rainier must be congratulated on their efficient and pragmatic approach to providing product enhancements on a very short timescale.

As a consultant very experienced in the use of COOL:Gen, I will find it easy to recommend the purchase and use of WinFun for use on projects with new customers."

Andy Wyatt, COOL:Gen Consultant, UK


"And Sterling thought their new product was COOL? WinFun allowed us to create functionality never imagined possible with any form of the IEF/Composer/COOL:Gen toolsets. For an Information Engineering project, this is truly the COOLest product I've seen.

WinFun allowed us to develop a solution that was impossible in the traditional Composer/COOL:Gen toolset, yet required by our customer."

EDS COOL:Gen Consultant, USA


"WinFun has been utiltised to help us revamp our GuardIEn and IET-Assist products to give them a more intuitive and modern look and feel. WinFun functions have provided us with fast and simple methods to enhance the slickness and presentation of our COOL:Gen generated applications."

John Gymer, IET UK


"At Emery we use Exposer extensively in our component publication process to produce specification documentation that is in a useable format to the potential users of our components. Also, I have been impressed with Rainier's responsiveness to my requests for technical support."

Jeff Jasperson, Emery Worldwide, USA


"We were involved in a COOL:Gen client/server development project that required a high-quality GUI incorporating detailed printing and reporting with Microsoft Word and Excel. The COOL:Gen toolset provided an interface but with limitations such as the inability to trap and report errors. Rainier's WinFun, WordFun and ExcelFun provided the solution - allowing the desktop applications to be easily manipulated from within COOL:Gen code, and providing a wide range of additional functionality with the ability to trap errors and act upon return codes.

Once installed on a PC the Rainier components were available to COOL:Gen like any other ActiveX control making the functions extremely simple to use within the COOL:Gen action diagrams. The detailed documentation and on-line help gave good guidance on how to use the functions. We were able to return large volumes of data from our COOL:Gen servers and to produce complex reports using Excel (via ExcelFun) and mailshot letters using Word (via WordFun) without the need for EABs or complex technical knowledge. I would recommend these products as a useful addition to any COOL:Gen development. "

Paul Jameson, Development Co-ordinator, Ventura Analysis, USA


"WinFun has helped us to get rid of old, homemade C++ code used to handle specific tasks. Among these are controlling the Client Manager, customizing window and dialogboxes and customizing the content of dropdown menus."

Jan-Ove Nesheim, Nykredit Data, Denmark


"Our shop uses Imposer to update and report on COOL:Gen model objects.  To put it simply, Imposer is a highly cost effective COOL:Gen productivity tool, with the emphasis on productivity!  Imposer paid for itself almost immediately!  Imposer helps in three significant ways - update, extract and report.  The update feature allows us to make single or mass edits with ease and accuracy.  Additionally, it saves time by enabling the direct update of object properties that would otherwise require the retransformation of the object - which is not always the preferred solution.  The extract capability allows us to extract and audit model objects for compliance with our specific standards.  As a reporting tool, Imposer has completely and effectively replaced our SQL scripts for the Public Interface".

"The MS Excel interface couldn't be easier and it allows us to interface with some of our other tools.    Last but not least, the technical support is superb.  They are knowledgeable, flexible and timely.  I wish every product was this well-made and useful"!

Eric A. Nelson, Owner, Effective Solutions, Washington USA
