Dear Sir/Madam,

I write this letter of recommendation for Mr. Michael D. Steffano with great
pleasure. I am owner of a software development company in San Diego.  All 
our systems are developed using the DataFlex product.  We have been using
DataFlex for more than 8 years.

Mr. Steffano has performed very well in meeting our design and programming needs,
under aggressive schedule requirements.  I am impressed with Mr. Steffano's 
knowledge of DataFlex and particularly in systems design.

Mr. Steffano conducts himself in a professional manner.  He is a pleasure to work
with.  To-date, he has produced flawless work for us.

We are excited to have established a working relationship with Mr. Steffano, and 
plan to involve his services in our efforts to migrate our products to fully 
utilize DataFlex object-oriented programming features.

Sincerely,

MINERVA ASSOCIATES
