  We have bought Sequent NUMA-Q (Dynix-ptx). We have 600 PCs (mostly 16 bit).
Our print/file servers are novell and we have some NT. The Sequent is big and we are thinking of putting applications in addition to Oracle on it.

I never want to be stuck with proprietary development tools again! I have a mess with informix-4gl. I like Java for this reason.   Dave Received on Wed Oct 08 1997 - 00:00:00 CEST
