Yes we had a Prime INFORMATION internals course that we used to run at
Prime in the late eighties. I used to teach occasionaly. This was
primarily an internal Prime course. I did present this to a couple of
key customers at the time.

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.

RE: [U2] UniVerse Internals course (UK)
As I recall, the classes that Glenn wrote were never offered to the
public, the first to be so offered was the one developed in Australia. 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.
