[plug] Re: Product End of Life Announcement

[John Vinciguerra (Chemform)]

Hi Leon,
        I saw that, one would hope that theres not too many people in that
boat :)

Are there many/any people on this list using MultiValue databases such as
D3? If so is there any interest in a PPUG? (Perth Pick Users Group?)

For those that don't know what Pick is, it is a post-relational data
management environment, it is sold by a few different vendors (indluding
IBM) under a few names, you may recognise some below:

MV systems: R83, Pick, D3, UniVerse, UniData, JBase, QM, Revelation,
mvEnterprise, mvBase, Mentor ...

Would be nice to get in touch with local 'Pickies'.

Cheers,

John.
