Re: [foxboro] FoxCAE & ACM

I've done several of these integrations, and you are correct that they don't 
support ECBs.  What I did was build the other blocks in CAE and then manually 
build the ECB's on the FoxGuard module.  Not the best, but it worked.

BTW, I think they let out the 5.1 version in late or mid 2005.  Might check to 
see if they've added the ECBs. 

My understanding is that FoxCAE is on the way out, since IACC supposedly does 
many of the same functions, such as allowing creation of loop typicals 
(although by another name).  I personally have had no experience with IACC, 
other than seeing it in the demo trailer a time or two.  I'd be interested to 
know if it has the same functionality as good ol' FoxCAE.
