This pretty much describes the Merlin Convenience Pak via Software Choice.
With eCS you get all this along with a lot of additional bundled software,
including Lotus Smartsuite. As with all this kind of stuff, it's only
worth the money if you are going to use the additional items.

Another less tangible, and hard to quantify, benefit of eCS is the
potential for SSI to open PMR's on your behalf. This may get defects
fixes that would not happen otherwise.
