Hi,
Many thanks to all of you who replied to my original mail about Information
Mapping, and for the pointers to all the stuff in the TECHWR-L archives.
Your impressions about IM were mostly positive (unlike some of the archived
opinions!), but nobody mentioned any alternatives to it (by name, anyway).
In the archives I stumbled across something called the "Clustar Method",
although I don't know whether this is comparable to IM. Does anyone know
anything about this or any other proprietory methodology?
