Seems that you do mean that OACIS. I was under the (false) impression
that Oacis in South Australia was home-grown technology, but it seems
that it is not. Or did teh South Australian govt pay for DIMAR to
development of the technology but tehn allowed them to reatin copyright
on it? Anyway, its not open source.
