| 1044.1 | Looks like might be a HP targetted product | JENEVR::RLEE | | Fri Dec 20 1991 07:09 | 19 |
| Gee - usually the best thing with questions like that is to contact the
Competitive Marketing Library at MRO2 via email...
Here's the scoop as noted in Data_Sources, SOFTWARE/1st Edition 1991:
DBMagic - sold by ADVANCED MICROSOLUTIONS
Address: 3817 Windover Dr., Edmond, Oklahoma, USA 73013
Phone: 800-284-3381
Target: HP 9000 Series 200, 300, Vectra PC-compatibles
Source code: HP BASIC
It's a relational database manager for windowed environment - probably
HP/NewWave. "Nonprocedural 4GL" supports unlimited database and table
sizes [on a PC? - hah! Believe it when I see it.]
Uses AMS Human Interface System - (HIS) - object-oriented development
system for user interfaces.

| 1044.2 | The real Israeli product | TAVIS::LANDAU | IS Israel | Sun Dec 29 1991 10:58 | 15 |
| *Magic* is a very popular database and application generator
for the MSDOS Israeli market. It may be the same as the
HP-based product mentioned in .1, but it certainly works on any
Intel based little machine.
In the last year its developers have released also a VAX/VMS
version, and a Digital-SCO version is expected very soon.
The developers are MSE (Mashov Software Engineering or
something like that) from Tel-Aviv.
Their phone number is 972-3-751-6218, and FAX 972-3-751-6218.
I haven't used it by myself, but people who did are very
enthusiastic. Here it is a tough competitor for Rally.

A customer we're talking to is interested in MAGIC; does anyone have any

| 1044.4 | How is life in Atlanta? Can I help on Magic? | IJSAPL::OLTHOF | Henny Olthof@UTO, 838-2021 | Tue May 25 1993 10:49 | 7 |
| Lars,
I have a meeting this Friday with Magic. Is there anything in
particular that you want me to ask?
Cheers,
Henny

| 1044.5 | Atlanta is OK - but I miss VBO, and all you guys! | DBSALF::FOLDEVI | Unisys Migrations - dtn 343-2368 | Wed May 26 1993 17:13 | 16 |

Henny,
I'd like to know how it supports a heterogeneous environment (Unix,
VMS, PCs), and which dbms's it supports and how. Is it a generator or a
run-time environment? What about non-relational - I'm thinking of DBMS?
Something about prices would be useful. The basic stuff.
If you can get some number of US installations (and worldwide).
Thanks for your excellent sense of timing - looking forward to the feedback.
And I hope to see you in July at the workshop!
Cheers,
- Lars
