They bought out most of MUMPS and seem to have enough former PIck
folks there who were saying that it was a similar situation of needing
to take Pick apps into a broader environment with today's expectations
for 24/7 but with our (PICK folks') expectations of big bang for the
buck too. In other words, we think like they do and there are, I
think, former pickies in their midst who said it was a good match. It
also sounds like they considered attempting to buy out the Pick market
like they did MUMPS a while back, but it didn't happen for whatever
reasons. So, they are providing what they think is an excellent
technology suite and it now includes MultiValue. They are clear with
their story (seemingly changing it from some time back) that there is
not Cache' for MV, but that Cache' now IS MV (as well as being MUMPS
and OOP).
Such as Jim Idle?
I know he was working for Cache. I think he was a consultant, and I
think he was contracted to write the "BASIC to Cache code" compiler.
Cheers,
