Try the IBM knowledgebase.... Sorry I couldn't resist ;-)
Walter, you could try http://u2ug.org as a good place to start, there are quite a few knowledgeable people on this list as you may or may not know and people are generally willing to help. I assume as you are buying a package, that you will not have to define a table, insert a record, etc. The main thing you may want to do is to be able to explore the data in the application database and possibly display is using a web browser or the like. There are a couple of people on this list who could probably point you in the UV technologies to accomplish this.

Our internal staff has dozens of years experience with filePro, mySQL, PHP, perl... yet we have no experience among the four of us working with UniVerse or any MultiValued/Pick DBMS. The whole concept doesn't scare us since it appears to be a mashing together of a lot of concepts that we already are familiar with. HOWEVER. What about the newbies? Don't we get any love? I have went through every google term I could think of to come up with a simple "This is how you get started with a UniVerse". I have installed the personal editions and have the server running, but I have no clue as to really creating a database, defining a table, inserting data into a record, retrieving data from a record, and applying business logic to fields. Is there not a "UniVerse for Dummies" website? Our sales rep asked his programmer and he said, "I learned it 20 years ago, I don't know how you would learn it today." I have 23 and 28 year old programers that will have to live with this solution for the next 20 years. They're bright, but in order to get them excited about this platform I need to let them experiment. Any website pointers will be appreciated.
