The classes I taught were offered to the public - or at least customers of universe at the time (as well as a number of inhouse engineers). Sheilds Flynn made sure we always had a full room. My first class was taught in the spring of 1992, the second in Sept 92, then Feb 93, Jun 93, Oct 93, Feb 94, Jun94 and the last one Sept 94. Each class had a minimum of 12 attendees (I still have the sign-in sheets). The next class in Feb 95 (and all subsequent classes for the next year or so) was under the instruction of the new hire - a gentleman whose name I just can't recall now (I believe his first name was Keith). During this time, VMark acquired the Prime Information group.
The course developed in Australia became the defacto class, as it was more geared towards customer comprehension and not so laden with engineer-speak and code geekiness that I had put together. There were a lot of things in my offering that delved into how things worked internally, but you really could not change or tweak it in any way such as to gain much performance (which a lot of customers claimed was one of the main reasons for taking the class). This was great for inhouse engineers and consultants, but not so great for customers (from feedback). As a matter of fact, the last section "Unix and uniVerse Performance Tuning" was added at the last moment from various places including documents by Mr Todhunter and Mr Baldridge on the subject as well as my own experience from Prime and Encore. After that, I only have updated the document for major changes, the last being uv 9.6, when I gave instruction to the Denver folk who took over uniVerse in 2000. _________________________________________________________ "I reject your reality and substitute my own" - Adam Savage Glenn M.

But I'm perfectly happy to conceded that Glenn's work was first. And that they were good times at VMARK. Can anyone remember a Prime INFORMATION internals class? I've a vague recollection of attending one, but the memory is dimming. ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
