Hi, Jim Todhunter and Phil (can't remember his surname - not me although I did work at VMark later on) were behind the development of UV. There were also some people who came over from Prime of who Pete Simmonson (sp?) was one I believe. Mark Baldridge or Glenn Herbert can probably confirm this as they have been around the companies who have owned UV the longest probably.
Cheers, Phil. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeff Schasny Sent: Tuesday, 1 May 2007 6:00 a.m. To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [U2] Differences between UV and UD Sorry Bill but thats not correct. Both UV and UD were developed around the same time by two separate companies, UV by Vmark and UD by (amazingly enough) Unidata. Both were written in C. UV was introduced (IIRC) about a year before UD. Both were Unix based implementations of Prime Computers (Primos based) Prime Information product.
