Tim -

There is the potential for a TDP *if* GroupWise provides an API for
accessing its data, real-time.  Then it would be necessary for there
to be sufficient marketability to cover development and support
costs, plus provide some profit.

You might want to research whether there is a GW API.  If so, an
enterprising C programmer in the shop could cobble together a
respectable pseudo TDP using the TSM API.
