    I have glossy on SIR and a DATAPRO report on the product. Basically
    it is claimed to be
    
    'The Intelligent Relational System which combines:
    
    o	the ease of use and convenience of the relational model and
     	SQL query language,
         
    o 	the power and flexibility of a 4GL,
         
    o 	and the intelligence to detect and exploit the natural structure
     	found in your data' 
     
    Some of my customers have it on their VAXes and seem to like the
    product.
    
    If you would like me send you a copy of the info, please mail me
    or give me a call on 849-3483 (Snam House, Basingstoke)
