Has anybody heard of the following products - UNIFY - a database, probably relational that runs under unix/ultrix ? AXEL - a 4GL for UNIFY. We are up against these in a competitive situation and nobody here has heard of them. Many thanks for any replies Charles Bryan

99.1 | UNIFY is a DCS product | KSAHUB::SMITHP | Mon Mar 21 1988 20:28 | 7 | |
Yes, UNIFY is a DCS product and sold buy Digital for Ultrix. Digital also proposed Unify as part of a $120M Air Force program last year and WON!!!. UNIFY is written in C and runs on most UNIX based O.S. Do not know anything about AXEL | |||||
99.2 | Unify Contacts Within Digital | KSAHUB::SMITHP | Mon Mar 21 1988 20:52 | 20 | |
I forget to include some Digital contacts. UEG has a third party group that brought Unify into the DCS program. I believe Haywood Gandy is the DCS admin. for Unify. Check the SPD for Unify. I believe the version of Unify included in the DCS is one or two versions older than what Unify is shipping direct to its customers. The Ultrix hotline back east (equal to VMS hotline in Colo Sprgs) has one or two people on the phones trained in Unify. The Digital Dayton Ohio office has one or two people in the SWS unit that actually teach Unify for the Air Force under the contract referenced in note 99.1 above. The Program Manager for this Air Force contract is Dave McDonnald DTN: 264-4421. The Dayton Ohio office number is (513)898-0920 Good Luck Phil Smith FSA - Colo Sprgs | |||||
99.3 | ACCEL | GLIVET::MOORE | Ken Moore | Tue Mar 22 1988 19:59 | 7 |
You must be referring not to AXEL, but to ACCEL, which is a 4GL product sold by Unify Corp. It was introduced in Fall 1985 and there was an article in Mini-Micro Systems at that time that described the product. ACCEL has SQL and the usual menu, form, report, and programming features for application development. I don't think it is integrated with any UNIFY (or other company's) products except for the UNIFY database manager. |
