Amdahl had its own Unix called UTS. I think it was well regarded, but never really took off. Did another company take it over when Amdahl was acquired?
And there was Amdahl's Huron, a rule-driven database. I ended up teaching an internal class on it at Amdahl when the regular instructor fell ill. It was quite interesting, in both good ways and bad ways. It also never took off (terrible interface, for one thing, and not made by a major database vendor for another). It was later sold and renamed ObjectStar. I never hear anything about it; I don't know if it disappeared or just became a niche product. -- Jack Hamilton Management Information & Analysis - Analytic Information Services Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc. 1950 Franklin Street, Oakland, California 94612 +1 510 987-1556 (KP tieline 8-427-1556) NOTE: This email document and attachments are covered by CA Evidence Code §1157 and CA Health and Safety Code §1370.
