Dave,
   We have a product called KONFIG CM that will manage CGM files and any
other graphic file formats. It can also manage the SGML and XML text. It
will manage and track the URL's that are in a WebCGM file as well as the
links in the SGML or XML file. It is integrated with our Tech Illustrator
product as well as other illustration and text authoring systems.

This system is in production at several Boeing sites.

This is a query that came into me internally at Boeing.  Any thoughts?

I'm wondering if you would know of any graphic management systems that
support CGM. Our content management system for SGML and XML is geared for
text, and the support for graphics is pretty limited. We're looking at
storing thousands of files and would like to have some sort of versioning
control, thumbnailing and keywording. I am familiar with Extensis Portfolio
but it doesn't appear to provide versioning and I don't see any support for
CGM in the new release. Do you know of any others that might provide us with
these options? Maybe our expectations are too high, and we just need to
manage them the old fashioned way... if so, please let me know.

I'll pass any information along.
